And I agree with you and I take no offense.

No offense really, I just got to the point without having to type 2,000 words.

Thats how wholesalers get bad reps when they jump in an aspect of real estate investing that they have no idea about following some guru at a seminar... no offense but definitely do your research first.

No offense, but personally I would have let to go long ago.  

No offense Eric, but at the very least you put your agent in a position to lose his NAID number and not be able to sell HUD homesAs far as the wholesaling issue I don't really have an opinion one way or another but HUD does not allow the marketing of their properties prior to closing. 

Don't let business decisions affect your relationship--sometimes you're going to have to decide to do something that will be taken hard, most often it's conversations that must be had that could be offensive.

Maybe you have a KILLER website and he's unsophisticated enough to believe you have a lot of knowledge and experience in the industry (hard to believe, but possible....) or maybe he's a shark looking for an easy meal in a shallow pond.No offense to you and your eager desire to get into real estate, but this guy sounds like a scammer. 

If they decide you're acting as an agent without a license:1st offense - $500 fine2nd offense - felony 

I think part of the offense they took may also have been from the fact that they had invested a fair bit of time in working with me, and I had then turned around and not hired them after seeming to be very interested (which I genuinely was -- but I also wanted to make sure I was getting the very best balance between price and quality that I could).I don't have a lot of experience dealing with contractors, so I'm honestly wondering if I committed a big faux pas, or if Company B is just unprofessional.

No offense to your mother, but if she had been raising the rent every year over the last 20 years, she'd be sitting on a few million instead of pondering her retirement plan.
