We were nervice because we were going to have a stranger living in our home.

. :)I see some things I need to add to our ground rules.Mentoring a stranger in this area is new to me.

I mean when I call my friends I don't even leave a message, let alone a leave a message for a stranger that might buy my house!

I simply can't understand why anyone would trust a complete stranger to take care of such an expensive asset without screening them first.

They may be motivated but after all I am a complete stranger and if they are motivated they may not be willing to open up immediately about personal/private issues.Seller: Hi you sent me a letter saying you want to buy my house on 123 MapleMe: Thanks for calling can you tell me a little about the property the condition etc?

So I have spent my entire day email strangers hustling my deal out.

Leverage your uniqueness among Brokers, friends and strangers alike and keep delivering the above mentioned quality.

I asked him, if he owned the rental car company would he let a total stranger walk up, put $500.00 on the table, and drive away with a $25000.00 car... if he did that would probably be the last time he ever saw either the car or the person who rented it.

It is a new state for me and I networked and called strangers pitching my deal.
