Just had a quarterly Bank advisory meeting for small towns and areas  All technical people are Harding to get.  

A well connected agent can also tap into their network.. for instance, probate attorneys might know of people seeking short-term solutions.

Also, people who are motivated to sell quickly may find there are buyers who want to buy quickly, and at a discount.  

If times get financially difficult will people stop eating or will they stop going to the doctor (unless its an emergency)?

I know its mean to say that people who do their own contracts get what they deserve, but you must know that if you are paying a couple hundred thousand dollars for something it just might have been worth spending $600 on a lawyer to do a proper contract for you.
