My first was found by word of mouth.

However, this experience has left me with a bitter taste in my mouth, concerning the ethics of YOUR AGENT, and by extension, YOURSELF AND YOUR AGENCY.I intend to make sure that in the coming months and years that I tell EVERYONE I meet in the (your city) area how UNETHICALLY I feel I was treated in this regard.

They all heard about me through word of mouth.

Wouldn't real estate agents and others develop a bad taste in their mouth for working with you and begin to not take you seriously?

they're not trying to keep people out of the "club," and i'm sure the more serious investors they have, the happier they are.

Our exit strategy is either sell to the existing renter, put it on the MLS, or by word of mouth such as BP MarketPlace we can sell to another investor.

Networking 2.0 - Your best and easiest deals will come from word of mouth.

Since then I have meet a lot of people in REI community and have a few realtor contacts, just still have a bad taste in my mouth from the last one.

This might mean a little less profit, but if so, would that make you happier in the end result?

If you did not understand what I am trying to do all you need to do is ask before you open your mouth.
