After a few months of playing phone tag and emailing contracts to someone who didn't want to give me the time day, my phone rings, "she" was finally what we call "motivated to sell"!

After several "Can I buy you a cup of coffee" emails from me, Steve finally responded when I sent him an email that had the subject line: RE: "I'll give you $500 Bucks to let me spend a day with you!"  

Can you email or call me with the details?

I think in a upward trending market, it is harder to get a deal because of limited supply and intense competition.

I would appreciate any information via chat or email to discuss strategies and such.

Email me at the address in my signature and I can introduce you to Mark.
