How often do they communicate for you and what is provided for the fee charged??

Frightening on so many levels and scary that this is someone on ANYONE's team (the realtor's Broker would have a heart attack if they knew their agent was this incriminating in irresponsibility AND communicating said irresponsibility to a client).

Just the way you communicate with a borrower is governed by laws.Foreclosure is complicated and a long and costly process.Real estate finance is very complex.Reliable valuations cannot be derived from the Internet.Finance laws are very complex.

Many - actually most in some areas - times, you will learn of it with no notice, so when the tenant exhibits enough decorum to advise you well in advance, it is best to work with them to make it a win-win scenario.In this case, the tenant has communicated they will stay for another 6-months, but cannot commit beyond that period.You can work with them on this.

I have a local commercial realtor who we started communicating but he never responded to my last.

However save every single communication you have with them.

I'm don't the best communication skills.

Sounds like bad communication from the listing agent at best.

If either is unsuitable, nothing else matters.This research is conducted prior to any communication with the seller.
