But once your done with the agent for the time being and the lender then its just PM handyman and tenants.. small group.Those of us that are on the Transactional side Our sphere can be huge and never lonely can be overwhelming with all the different players and such we have to deal with day in day out..

Now in our timber deals with that demographic it could take months and a lot of fresh and smoked salmon and if it was elk season some fresh steaks and jerky would win the day.. this is the PNW of course :)  I also got a lot of timber deals by advertising on the Christian radio station..

As a seasoned real estate agent with five years of experience under my belt, I've had the privilege of guiding numerous clients through their own investment journeys.
