Without it, you will have no customers (deals), and with no customers (deals) you will make no money!

I prefer the safer course of having some buyers and their parameters, and then going in search of sellers with matching dealpoint potential.

I own a few companies that deal in all areas of real estate including; custom home building, production homes, commercial projects, land development and real estate brokerage.

Lots of scotch -- preferably single-malt.

What he was trying to tell me was that the customer profile was not a reliable group.... to do business with.Good luck!

Obviously both have their advantages...but what strategy do you prefer?

By purchasing this company, they are not only getting a large customer list to add to their portfolio, they are being looked at as the heros by everyone in wall street.

I always prefer to deal with the homeowner directly, but agents usually don't like that.

But here's my problem: If I drop that much to just try and get a sale, I'd prefer not to use a realtor because commission charges arent factored in to that cost; thus, my exposure is limited and its harder to find buyers.

but when I work my company I get a few alerting my customers to plumbing or electric problems or I notice theyre starting a project I tell them I do stuff cheap.
