Closing a 45 unit in Lakewood today for a client as well.

In each area, be it insurance or investments, RE or banking you must know the individual or retail side before moving into commercial accounts as they are more complex and greater in-depth knowledge is required as you are dealing with sophisticated managers and larger amounts of business are usually involved.Regardless of who your client may be, they must get past the trust issues with you and your firm before they do financial transactions with you.

I've got 2 sales pending for clients right now that fit into that 2% category, a duplex pending for about 70% of list after only 3 weeks on the market (because the listing agent screwed up on pretty much all the numbers, and everyone else is apparently waiting for him to drop the price before they submit an offer), and a SFR listed at $279,900 -- the only house for sale in a super-desirable little neighborhood of 36 homes -- we now have pending for $195K, but only because we were intimately familiar with and helped shape the story.As an agent, Yes it's my job to get my clients the properties they want, but it's also my job to avoid wasting ridiculous amounts of theirs and my own time chasing no-chance deals.
