The contract is a "loyalty pledge" if you will - that you realize their investment in your search and you will provide them with your full representation. 

This fosters loyalty.

My objectives were:First, put a face and a positive spin on "the man".Second, show the same customer appreciation I would in any other business where customer loyalty is important.Third, celebrate Christmas.I believe I accomplished my objectives. 

I tried to be the cheapest for a while but what I found was that most of those clients were high maintenance and had no loyalty to me. 

Loyalty means a lot.

Loyalty - They will invest in future deals with a much shorter conversion cycleAdvocacy - They are telling all of their friends about you.Depending on where your investor is at, the more info you will need to provide them.

One where we can create a win/win situation where both the Investor and Agent profit and our goals are aligned.Ideally it would be in the Real Estate Agents best interest for the investor to purchase a property at the lowest price possible because this would enable the investor to build up cash reserves more quickly and in turn purchase more properties which would lead to more business for the agent.It makes sense that a Real Estate Agents loyalty would lie with the seller because they may have a good reputation around the neighborhood for getting houses sold at a good price and they also earn a commission which increases the higher sale price goes. 

Our key to our success has been loyalty from our realtors.

In my area there is a strong sense of loyalty among the old money so if you are brought up connected, are reasonably ambitious and smart, you have it made.The most important thing is that you are a people person.
