I Don't Wanna Pay That Much

Getting along in an office can be frustrating.  You have so many considerations.  Even though you may be right, you must consider the damage to the relationship you have with the other agent in the office, with your broker, and the other agents in the office.  Don’t forget your client who might hear any negative news, too...

How and when to tell a client no thank you

Each time, the lender received kudos from the attendees and earned more potential clients.

Below is a great action plan to share with your favorite lender so he or she can plan a great real estate event.
