Today I'm working with a buyer. I TRIED to schedule 15 showings and am only able to show 5. The other 10 are pretenders. 2 of the listings had Listing Agents who have themselves as the point of contact to schedule the showing appointment.

I logged into my Linkedin account today. To my surprise I had 22 messages. All 22 were solicitations, links to blogs and advertisements. 2 of the spammers as I'll call them were AR members who keep telling me about their business model and how they can help me be like them.
