At most, I'll give 'em 3% I was 187th and 105th in total sales the the last 2 years in my state out of 49,000 agents.

I also closed on three deals in about 5 months last year through the same attorney’s office and one of the legal assistants there inherited some property and reached out to me to buy it.

I am learning from all of you, and one day I hope to be a source of wisdom for those who post here.Since I  last posted, I have had two parties sign up on Airbnb for the place, so I am booked till the end of June. 

I have a track record of why it went down with dealing with two broken legs over the last two years with a few surgeries in between and can show proof of all my surgeries etc.

You guys would be the LAST agents I would ever use to sell my house.
