So I actually booked a 30 min appointment with him initially, but saw his prices for coaching and I decided to CANCEL and confirmed my cancellation several hours ahead of time.

Make appointments to see the ones you really like.  

They might be by appointment only but they have the best selection I’ve seen.

So because its such a shotgun approach in certain markets.. ( Portland being one) your response rate will be very low) so they are shocked to even get a call.the next thing is these folks listen to what's written here but they have no phone or sales skills.. they may be young and think it cool to use old technology.. but their target market is not young and not tech driven.. they simply don't understand what they need to do.Their are definite sales skills that are needed to cold call people and then turn them and close them.. think of Stock brokers etc. its called a one call close.. your one call to get an appointment .

I'd like to try to set up appointments for this weekend with these people if possible.

First, they were a pain to deal with and refused to set an appointment for me and refused to even talk to me about the foundation.

The other day I  gutted the sink and garbage disposal to get to a clogged drain  - what could have cost $100 and time scheduling appointments and 24 hour notice - I just fixed it with about 45 minutes of work and it was no big deal  - plus i got the satisfaction of knowing I didn't need to call anyone to do it for me.  

I have an appointment later with my lawyer so we will see what he saysThanks again everyone for the advice!!!

Later on i met few other agents that were investor friendly.After i sold my first listing i realized i would rather go with my first goal, to be an investor, but use the benefits of an agent (making my own appointments, access to the mls, etc).
