You mindset sounds enthusiastic to the point of wreckless.

I mean my wife does 10 to 15 million a year and might work with one investor or two a year that I refer who too etc.. but those shot gunning low balls  we find that to be non productive on our end and at the end of the day we are all independent contractors and we get to CHOOSE who we work with.. we are not beholden to any client.. just like clients are not beholden to any agent.. 

I asked "Have you had any update on the liens against this property" and the title clerk replies "We have been checking online everyday and there have been no updates" to which I shouted back enthusiastically "They do have it!

Similar to a person who carries a gun forpersonal security.

And maybe that extra money is more than enough to cover the super deep cleaning cost.The bar down in San Diego where the "singing to her scene" from Top Gun was filmed has crap all over the walls attesting to that, and the drinks are more expensive.

A new agent normally doesn't have the experience and contacts to perform at the level of an experienced, ethical and enthusiastic broker.  

Odds are all the seller will do is get a handyman to get up on that roof and diddle around with his caulking gun loaded with roofing cement among the existing shingles.

People have guns. 

I have jumped the gun on plenty of things in life and sometimes as human beings we can get blinded by the best possible outcome and be too rosy in our assumptions about the future.

As I believe @Dennis M. is trying to point out with some humor, this is a reality we deal with down in D'class all the time.Odds are, the bender will quietly peter out, reason will return, he'll continue to pay rent and never do this again in abject, total gratitude for forgiving him this sin.Does he know you have guns in your own home and aren't afraid to use them?
