Nor does it pay well for an agent to spend a lot of time with a buyer that has an agency agreement but chooses to sit on their laurels instead of actively pursuing a purchase.Most agents who are serious about helping people do not have time to spend with lackadaisical clients or people who refuse to sign a buyer's agreement.

This is typically for most people not a DIY project. 

They will substitute in their own sense of fairness knowing people are unlikely to appeal such a small issue.

One think I sometimes try to remind people is that EVERY APPLICANT qualifies for a rental!

How many people do this?

Having more people liable for the lease is usually positive in my experience.

Some people make 4x the rent but squander their income on eating out, drinking, car payments, etc.

It's so important to surround yourself with strong people (i learned that the hard waY...)
