Looks good and I agree with Rick. This willhelp you know if you are spending wisely.

Who referred you to us?

How can I help you?

Then listen!

Lots of notes, fill in your questions. After they are done you have an idea of where they are going and can better direct the questions. They also feel like you will address any concerns they have.

Joe... too funny

couple of super points, btw, does the brinks thing work for you?

Also,

I've seen the Glamour pics of Realtors - it's both funny and, seriously, it kind of saddens me. I mean come on, why put that picture on your card.... some of them look like the Glamour Shot of Napoleon Dynamites girlfriend, you know, the picture of his "girlfriend from oklahoma".


I even had one say to me "you're probably wondering why I have that picture on my card"..... it was literally the first thing they said to me, I'd never met her before.


But, I might consider a "wash" IF the house was distressed (great point btw) AND the realtor was hot, fair is fair.

[Paul Pendley]

Joe. thats some great stuff.....If it is a reocurring realtor I will just ask that they send over the MLS PDF file and the contact info. Saves alot of time.

[dpopoff]

Great info Joe, As a 7A myself I can count on two hands how many times I have done a cl100 when the HI was there. As a new-be to the Hi end, the laws are unclear on actually performing wdi's as an HI.

Any insight?

Thanks,
Dan

I sub out the termite inspections, if they want one. I make $25 on that service. Termite man is there the same time I am.

Just started with Brinks. They sent me a check this week for $680 for providing them the contact info for clients I've worked with the past 3 months. I make $15 for each lead I sent them, whether the client signs up with Brinks or not. Seems to be working REAL well. I make $100 for each HI I send their way, so if anyone is planning to contact Brinks, please call me first.
