I think it also helps to build loyalty.

What type of value would a real estate professional (licensed or not) have to deliver to earn your loyalty?

This is not about loyalty – everyone appreciates the phone call from you asking for money.

Often as brokers, we are looking for a certain level of loyalty in this relationship that is not often reciprocated by the client if they are an investor because investors are looking for whoever brings them the best deal.

As such, skip tracing often involves accessing the following: Phone number databasesCredit reportsCredit card applicationsJob applicationsCriminal background checksLoan applicationsUtility billsPublic tax informationPublic records databasesCourthouse recordsDepartment store loyalty cardsAir travel recordsDriver’s license/vehicle registration departments

It may actually build some loyalty from the tenant. you could just approach with something like: "hey, I noticed you don't have a mattress in that room.

Even if buyer is newer but they have me the seller feels good about it.So in turn buyers with no loyalty to a broker who want access to their contacts and the best deals do not expect most brokers to give you the time of day.  

I don't want to stay with them I think this is taking advantage of loyalty due to pain of moving elsewhere, or they've just lost their minds altogether.

The bank may prefer to keep it to one lender and hold onto your loyalty.

If they do insist I will do it as the sellers agent and just help them with the paper work, but there is no loyalty there.Hope it helps some.
