At the same time, we turned a tired house with good bones into a really great place for a young couple who is SO excited to buy their first home.

The neighbor claims that she got a nail in her tire and it was because of my guys leaving nails in the alley.

The property came at a very significant discount from a tired landlord and the majority of the deferred maintenance was cosmetic and easily repaired, and has been taken care of in the first 3 weeks of ownership.

First, I'm not a typical real estate agent (I only represent my own deals), and I certainly don't deal with multi-million dollar properties, so this is just an opinion...I'm guessing that much of what they portray on that show is true enough, but the important thing to remember is that they only portray the most interesting and exciting 1% of what those agents do.For example, for every $400K "snap of the fingers" commission they show, they ignore the 20 deals that don't materialize, even after the agent spends lot of time and money wooing the client and marketing the deal.I'm sure the top agents are driving $100K cars (hell, I know some very unsuccessful agents who drive $60K cars), spend their time shmoozing over expensive lunches and have ultra-rich buyers who are happy to make offers site-unseen, but this doesn't reflect the other 15 hours/day where the agents are cold calling, dealing with tire-kickers, getting fired by unreasonable sellers, and spending money on banal marketing campaigns that don't generate any leads.Just my guess...

I was tired yesterday, today was my mothers Grave Side Service, she passed away 2 weeks ago today.

wow somebody has a big head..or they're tired of people bothering them...i guess if you don't wanna be bothered, you could just sign off the email, turn off the phone,and disconnect the internet :)

I get tired of people "predicting" things while not furnishing any data.  

There are basic things like the condition of the engine and body and tires and interior... but then there are other things like how did the owner treat the car, or was it involved in a crash, is it stolen.... etc...

Time wasters and tire kickers are the worst. 

Trevor, do you have time to market your property, do open houses, and waste time weeding through serious buyers from the tire kickers?
