But I couldn't figure out how to buy it, so I called customer service.

Dev, popular thinking, I'll give you that.

In January 2014, I turned the keys over to the new homeowners of a ground-up custom built 4500 sq ft home in record time, considering the incredible amount of rain we have had.

Think of them as a customer for our service, which is "ease of transaction" that they're paying for with equity and I think you'll see that its just like any other sales process.

I am self employed professional and my customer base is here in LA.

Apartment Guide.com is a popular website where people search for their new apartments.

That almost-HDR effect is really popular here right now.

But focus on getting better and better at servicing your customers, this is your banks, sellers, and partners.  

I was raised back when "yes ma'am" was still popular (in my opinion, it still is). 

Like any Real Estate or Business venture if you Over Saturate, the seller (customer) will look elsewhere instead of your business, as I said earlier just in one area actually in one spot I saw about 15 Bandit Signs all with different phone numbers, all basically saying the same thing, We Buy Ugly Houses, We Buy Houses/Fast Close, We Buy Houses/Close in 30 days or less, We Buy Houses/Cash Close etc.
