Do you have any investments on crowdfunding sites like RealtysharesRealtyshares and their competitors can have good investments, but there are also plenty of duds.

I cant count the number of clients I have bent over backward to help purely out of generosity....goodness of my heart....and the number that have turned around to ***** and complain about some tiny detail and made my life miserable..... left to go to my competitor in town..... had to send to collections.

He said they'd match any competitors rates and terms to close the loan.

Are its competitors any better?

In closing, while I think fresh ideas and competitors are good in this space, it's going to be tough to convince me that any given upstart site is going to be able to compete for a top spot.

With a complete understanding of a market you will be able to understand the shifts from buyers to sellers and vice versa and act more quickly than your competitors - Big time advantage!

One of my friends who is one of the top producing RE agents in California uses technology extensively, and I'm shocked when he tells me of his competitors that are still using pen and paper to track complex contracts. 

If you can't find enough people to run your business and have to compete for workforce you have to offer more than your competitor. 

I have a couple large competitors in the area, and while those competitors have marketing budgets that reflect the size of their business, I am a lot smaller and more affordable.

We had the same offer as the other competitor, but our offer was to release the escrow funds halfway through (after inspection) the 45 day escrow  to help cover moving/storage for the seller.They denied it for the offer contingent. with their wishes.
