@Dave Foster You're the man!

I am super torn between the different perspectives shared by @Dave Foster and @Arlen Chou.  

My friend who works for the development firm said he would compensate me if I could foster a deal between the two.

No one wants to be trapped in a conversation with someone that just wants to sell their product when they aren't interested in it.That said, I have a totally different elevator speech when talking to a wholesaler about being a buyer of their properties, a different one for real estate agents, etc...just have to know the audience.I guess my point is that we can't all collaborate in this thread on developing the perfect elevator speech that works for everyone, but hopefully this all helps with ideas on developing yours.

@Dave Foster Good evening,Thanks for giving me great advice.  

But if it can, I think in 5 to 6 years it will be a major component of every real estate investor's portfolio.Looking to collaborate and share with other investors who are doing due diligence on real estate crowdfunding deals.Thanks,

With Long and Foster, whatever portion L&F would get based on your normal commission split, their take is 1/2 their regular take for investment properties.

Today's technology allows for seamless collaboration with clients and many of us have clients all over the US and world.

So they decided to join the Fortune Builders Team - where in collaboration with one another, they would offer their services to help redevelop the communities in the local area and this is where “SNM Rehabs” was formed.

IMO, the best way to get on a brokers short list is to close deals (and generally foster a friendship).
