sorry to say it but there is nothing dishonest to engage in a conversation with an Agent that has a house on market since 200 days and offer to buy at a lower offer price - seller they believe owns the Taj Mahal and expecially after pandemic they raise asking price way too high - once again, guys we are entertaining a conversation with a seller and if the house is on market since 200 days, guess what, I believe the agent and the seller maybe a bit motivated, or what? 

Never heard of them before....but your typical real estate "mentoring" guru will invite you to a free 2-3 hour session, and convince you to come to all day on Saturday or 3 day weekend course for $299-$399, when you are at that course, they'll convince you to be a Big Dog player for full on mentoring at $15,000-$50,000.   

Engage with local officers to gather insights about the neighborhood, and don't hesitate to ask them specific questions about the property.When touring, pay attention to tonality, body language, and hidden cues from sellers.

If you don't have a well aligned lock they tend to try to relock and when the deadbolt doesn't engage that drains the battery.

Another great resource is Linkedin, reach out to players in your area and offer to take them out to coffee or lunch.

Hi Tracey,Thanks for the engagement, and for the link.

How many owners are willing to pay higher leasing fees, so their PMCs can engage other agents via the MLS?

Now of course I have heard some of terms and lingo being thrown around by friends, family, and now the podcast, but I still wouldn't even attempt to engage in any of these forum posts due to my lack of knowledge.

But, that is the only tax implication of engaging another host. 

You need someone who clicks with you personally before engaging in a mentor/mentee relationship with the dedication and stress that may be involved.Where to find a mentorStart by looking within your existing network.
