At any rate - our company is working hard to find a lending resource that will service our deals and clients properly.

I have about a dozen other clients that had the same thing happen as well.

The clients were screwed out of a month's rent on one property that they know of.

It's good to have an agent on your side looking daily, because that is where I noticed most people are losing out, they are just too slow, and hear about the "good one" too late.I had a client who I called the day the house she wanted fell out of escrow, they lowered it another $25,000.

Hi,I have owned a mortgage company for 12 years and I have been involved with putting together past clients from Europe that have 5-10 million dollars to invest in non-performing notes in the U.S.

Most of my clients are from the UK, Ireland, etc.

:violin: Both were preapproved, I was working with both, found homes they liked, and with one we put in an offer.First client went to the house "next door" to the one she put an offer in on, the Realtor was there speaking to the tenants, and my client asked to see the house.

If she has a chance to double dip a client then she will work hard for you.

Personally I like 65%, it's still in the ball park and doesn't offend too many potential clients. these numbers depend upon your local investors(many pay up to 80% of retail) and the property location.

One good example I can think of when weighing the reason one goes into business: I have always noticed that in the residential real estate field, Agents who work very hard for buyers and sellers, seemingly without regard for the money, but who focus on providing service to their clients, also seem to make the most money.
