I think I'm pretty good. In fact, the buyers do a bad job of playing poker. Buyers are doing cartwheels in the house & then they stop & say 'we'll put this one on our list'. Yeah sure.

It takes about 2 appointments to tell us if they want to move on.

It is action that counts. I keep their remarks and hope I can change them with hard data as realtors are perceived with skepticism.

For buyers they need to be very serious. Former unsuccessful buyers (80-90%) are welcome.
