My guess here is that was done to "boost their influence" - especially since Zach's post was moderated (and lost points as a result).Let's see if somebody independent of "Link Options" (and not named Wendy Patton either) can give an opinion on this product offering ...

Many agents begin with a lead program, their sphere of influence (SOI), or a combination of tactics, only to abandon them after 3-6 months.

Account Closed 41% of your clients will be referrals from your sphere of influence, friends, family, coworkers, etc. so really focusing in on that and farming it and reminding those people you are in the business will probably be your greatest marketing tool especially for a part time agent.

Stated succinctly - Locus of control is the degree to which people believe that they, as opposed to external forces (beyond their influence), have control over the outcome of events in their lives.So many people think that the world has failed them. 

This can influence your vacancy rates.Now, coming to a tangible example: In Wichita Falls, Texas, we're buying properties every week.

I have talked with several brokers who have explained that road access, water access, well depth requirements, building laws exc. influence value the most but I am having a harder time ascribing weights to these variables. 

And those actions are many in our political influence LIKE the higher taxes and higher costs, and they just can't get off the throne of printing and distributing more, THATS INFLATION, our very government ethos today is to INFLATE there way out of inflation.

Obviously, other features will also influence this such as the value, neighborhood, and level of repairs.  

However, if you’re just going because of the potential income to be made, you may want to think about that some more.I am a college dropout, I only went because I was under the influence of family. 

Obviously they are paid based on how much the home sells for an it is in their best interest to get the highest possible price, but what degree of influence is it possible to have on the seller when you are interacting with their realtor when looking at their property?
