You don't have to pay all the fees involved with joining the MLS and having E&O insurance, but if you refer a potential client to your brokerage, you can get a small commission.

I am working with a few clients from outside the U.S. now, and they all use the Internet to search.

Instead of bringing the client to the house, I believe in bringing the house to the client.

We get requests from clients, and would like to have a good website to be able to refer them to?

We have have many institutional clients desiring bulk REO packages and we also invest for our own portfolio of REO's.

This is my deal and I am not working on it for a client.

I've had clients do this before... its technically not very ethical because thats kind of the definition of bait and switch...although if you never respond to them at all I guess its really no harm done.

Here is a true example-- I had a client with an ARM at 11% in August.

The FDIC prefers to move in and take over at 5pm on Fridays to give them the weekend to clear things up and so people can't panic as much-that shows just how bad things were for WaMu if they couldn't wait 24 hours.On a WaMu side note-we just got a new client at my firm in the past month, her father passed away and surprisingly left her 2.5 million. 750k of that was in WaMu CD's.

Got a call from a client today, they said that they spoke with the trustee on their auction when they were sending them their BK information.
