I'd find a local agent that slings some business in a productive office and tell them to go shake some hands. |
Damn, that pretty much sums up why I can't compete in today's market. When I bought in 2010 I had been shopping and making offers for 6-9 months. I was so fed up with the whole process that I almost got my license. In the process of making so many offers I probably used 15 different agents. I found a few that were very proactive that I really enjoyed working with and will use in the future.
Inventory levels are 25% of what they were in 2010 in my area so I don't even bother seriously looking right now.
