morganREI 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 A week ago I went to one of those Realtor web sites with a BB forum like this but for Realtors.I thought I could get a Realtor's perspective on working with someone on lease options. Thought maybe I could figure out how to work with Realtors where they would feel comfortable. Well, this was a death sentence. I tried to approach in a non threatening manner. I didn't claim to be an investor and I even said a few positive things about Realtors. Talk about some real Jack ***s! There were over 125 views, but no one answered any of my questions. I got slammed and ridiculed. I got to thinking about that guy from this site that is a Realtor but gets no respect from his co-agents or broker. (until now bc he went to a new agency) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelC 160 Report post Posted August 18, 2008 Can't say I'm surprised, morgan. You ventured behind enemy lines, at least as far as the Realtors are concerned. Especially these days, with commission checks so far and few between, I imagine they are working with very short fuses. I suggest if you go back there, do so for entertainment purposes, not for any source of reliable or unbiased info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
