So many times I would tour a home with a client at 8:30am, go to the office and do some prospecting, meet with my team over lunch, research new listings and follow up on phone calls all afternoon, then go home only to have the phone ring during dinner because an offer was coming in at 8:00pm, so race back to the office or property and negotiate a deal, which may or may not close!

How do you handle the calls from the office?

Look at where they live and office.  

Okay, I am new to REI and am writing this post while out of the office.

As long as you don't buy a clunker, you should be fine selling within a reasonably amount of time (assuming the market is not completely out of whack).If you have your own business, you can write off a portion of your home ownership costs if you have a home office (and some mortgage interest too).

Currently own and operate a 50 acre Mobile home park, lease a 10 acre parcel to a condo development and have a 30k sqft 60 tenant office complex.I am involved in all parts of the business.

From what I have seen it is typically the offices that are trying to recruit agents, not the agents trying desperately to find an office unless you're trying to get a job at a larger company where it is a salaried position requiring a RE license. 

When that has happened  (rarely)  I make it a point to stop by their house or office and ask them in person why they apparently deliberately deceived me for their own gains.  

If you don't mind, give me a call at the office and I'd be happy to help you get started here, help you achieve your goals and refer outlets for education and networking and other professionals.

We have done a lot of research and found tons of properties in Pottstown, Norristown and Reading, but have heard some troubling reviews of these areas regarding: tenants, taxes and political issues.
