As a real estate agent, i am following up with all of my old leads that i had when i was flipping. i have a huge stack of people who want to sell.The big objection i hear is, " i would sell it if i could get a good price (full value), but i dont want to list it with an agent because i do not want to interrupt my tenants.

Thank you for the leads on who to contact!
