(By the way I use customer instead of client as I don't think the internet can foster a client relationship). This guy appears at my office one day to see a house located in our market area.

Oh, sure it wasn't intentional and I am not sure that he was even thinking of leaving it was just what happened and even worse what the results (long term) could have been.I have a very good client that buys 4-6 properties from me a year and I also sel...

Not a new topic but an important one.The other day on AR someone asked if home inspections were necessary with new construction. My answer was always have a home inspection.
