Darfot, apparently the agents you've met were new ones.
i don't think so. in places like ski resorts, i have just walked into Agents®' offices. however, since Agents® don't have oodles of advanced degrees and so on to distinguish themselves like Lawyers® and Doctors®, it is not like i can tell by looking at somebody whether they are the REALTOR® equivalent of Chief Justice® or Head Neurosurgeon®. or whateverrr...
and in another place, i found an agent out of a guidebook written in Japanese. the book was a few years old but this dude still had a working number. i guess i should call him up and tell him ole Tradelite thinks he should be out of business, LOL.
The good agents are busy working with buyers who are ready, willing and able to buy--meaning qualified.
what the hell does that mean? i just tell em i am a cash buyer and they start slobbering all over their Tony Robbins tapes.
They have a steady clientele of referrals, usually from people or institutional sources. They know something about their buyers and wouldn't spend time with them unless and until they do.
you seem to have these monolithic ideas which strike me as rather unrealistic. sure, there are some people like that, but there are others who aren't. the point is, both sets of people know the lockbox combo, and therefore blow to pieces your idealistic, monolithic image of some airtight, ubiquitous vetting process. |
