Frankly taking 30 listings a month is a big FAT JOB.Too many people want a quick fix.

Doesn't care if you're fat.

Also want to drop 35 pounds this year to hit my ideal weight and under 10 percent body fat.

Here's a sample "roadmap" when prequalifying buyers on the phone, I tell them to remember the acronym FATPOP - which stands for:F - financing: ask the buyer if they need bank financing to buy the house or if they have prequalified with a mortgage brokerA - area: which part of town are they interested to buy or invest inT - timing: if they like the property and the price, how soon can they closeP - property: once their answer on the FAT questions are acceptable, you can now describe the property and highlight its great featuresO - Owner: are you the owner of the buying decision or are you a broker or a wholesaler or do you have a spouse or partner to check with to make the decisionP - price

I don't have to find a deal to put food on the table and I can patiently wait for the proverbial fat pitch.

Besides the food is horrible and the women are fat, well some are anyway.

Your real ROI won't be known til the fat lady sings.

I spent a couple years with not much to do and a fat bank account.

They have system in place where they feed off the new agents through profit shares.So when a brokerage charges fees for fat splits to new agents retirement funds are being fattened onthe upline.Many agents that gravitate toward lower fees are struggling agents or are investors.Investors can get you in hot water sometimes trying hair brained schemes to make money.Struggling agents either are part time working a JOB or work full time but don't have many deals close each year.Both make the agents require alot of training and time because they are inexperienced or they get rusty doing a deal.

That seems more of an "Appreciation of BP" I am thinking show the guy, who must stress and stay up all night at times, a big fat thank you...
