I just moved back to my hometown, Charlotte, NC, 2 months ago and I have virtually 0 Realtor relationships in the states where I am licensed.I am just wondering if any of you borrowers, brokers, lenders, or agents out there have any advice regarding things that I could do to start building trusting relationships with Realtors in order to get some leads in my pipeline.Honestly, thank you to those of you who took the time to read this, let alone respond :)PLP(peace, love & positivity)Sincerely,Dominic Balconi
