Next!!!! A commentary by Indiana Joe

Are you a newbie (new to real estate investing) ? Are you a seasoned veteran been doing it for years? In any case we run into different situations each and everyday no matter if we are brand spanking new or an old crusty seasoned veteran (well maybe not crusty - just a lot of experience).

Have you ever encountered a not so friendly Banker? A not so friendly Contractor? A not so friendly Realtor? In any business there are people that are good, people that are great and people that just need some improvement (and maybe even learn how to sharpen their people skills).

I want to tell you do not feel that you have to work with anyone person or that first person that comes along. Do not let anyone person stop you in your tracks. I often laugh (outloud I must admit) when realtors state before they will even send a list of potential properties to review, that you MUST send them a proof of funds letter! lol lol lol lol lol until it hurts. Oh no, please stop, my stomach is hurting from laughter!

I am thinking give me a break! Does this Joker, oh I mean Realtor, have too much starch in their shorts! I was just in the Miami area a few months ago and ran into this very thing. In the Miami, Florida area there are more than 25,000 yes that is what i said 25,000 Realtors. This joker, I mean Realtor, wants a proof of funds even before I get listings from them. I had one word for them ...................NEXT !!!!!

I don't have time for that. With more than 25,000 Realtors in the area, I will just go ahead and call another one of the 24,999 Realtors out there. Well, one may say the Realtors do not want us to waste their time! Seriously?????

News flash! I agree time is very valuable somethign you always want more of and never have enough of. However, my time is just as valuable and I do not want them wasting my time either! You need to stand tall! Stand proud! I dont care if you never ever have done 1 deal before, your time is just as valuable as their time! Remember, never ever let anyone make you feel as though your time is not just as valuable as their time!

I laugh that they want to know you have money even before they work with you (I call this the Pretty Women.Syndrome - that was a great movie) I ask......Would you walk into the Olive Garden and say table for 5 and the Hostess states alright gentlemen before I seat you open your wallets!!!! Ladies get those purses open, now!!!! Lets see that you have cash or credit cards!!!

Hostess then states....Now that i see you have cash and those credit cards I will seat your party of 5 now. Really? Would you stand for that?

You would not tolerate this at a restaurant so why would you tolerate it with a Realtor! Remember your time is just as important as theirs!! If you ever run into a situation where a Banker, Lawyer, Realtro, Contracotr, is not respecting your time. Just think of one little word...................NEXT!!!!!

Go make it a great day by making every day count! Remember to be sure to always do at least one thing each day to move your business forward. You can do it! Believe and Achieve! - Joe and Stacey
