My realtor has done the following (but not limited to) and he has me on the brink of relieving him of his duties:1) talked to other clients or realtors, or even held personal phone calls during a house viewing (more than once)2) told me that he shuts his phone off from December 24-Jan 23) Sometimes does not respond to calls/texts within 24 hours4) Didn't know what ARV meant when I used the acronym and then proceeded to say he never heard it called that before...Maybe I'm answering my own question, or maybe I'm being overly picky but usually I'm right about my gut instinct.

By receiving part of the fees for these services, you become invaluable to someone who needs a trash hauler, gardener, painter, contractor, wholesaler or a professional like an attorney, lender or real estate broker.This will also permit you to both spend more on acquiring clients and maximizing the frequency of contact with the person in charge.

Most are afraid to ask questions and don't understand that it's another business transaction, the borrower is the client and they have every right to know who they are dealing with and where their money comes from.

We are all holding our breathe to see what HUD will do and how we as a community can pick up the pieces to ensure their clients are taken care of--if they choose to re-appropriate, that is.hashtag.hudproblems

I have seen this issue, luckily in a client's rental and not my own.In that case, and maybe yours, the issue was two-fold.

Many of us accountants have clients nationwide/worldwide.

U sound like one of my coaching clients.

I've built teams in several mid west markets and that is where we invest and find properties for our clients.

I've been burned before in showing a place and then the client used another realtor to secure the deal.
