Bermudabay 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2005 Michael, seeing as you are using your wifes friend can you give us an idea of the kind of results you are experiencing hitting all the classifieds in your area on a weekely basis...this is very interesting.BradResults vary. The one thing I like to say is that the only consistency is the inconsistency. The gal spends, usually, about four hours a week weeding through the classifieds for me. Sometimes more. She'll send me over a good number of leads, most of which don't pan out. But, that's fine because I have instructed her to err on the side of being overzealous. I don't mind following up only to find the homeowner has zero interest. Takes me all of two minutes to do so. Keep in mind my local market is extreme: a 25% to 33% annual appreciation rate for five years running. So sellers have a tendency to be adamant and firm about what they will and won't do. Having said that, there are leads that do pan out, and for this she makes her $400. I hate the expression "It's a numbers game". But in a market like this one, it just may be. We need to wade through many contacts to find a willing seller. But markets are always changing. I've seen it before, and it will happen again. This market will slow, then turn to the downside. Great site folks! I'm a new Canadian from Toronto also! Great to see Doug and Gordon are here. I look forward to learning!!!Brian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
