Description

Have you ever felt like saying, “Buy from me or get out of my car.”  You work with a buyer for days on end, drive them to every house they want to see, only to find out a week later that they used their Great Aunt Lucy, who has a real estate license, to buy a home?

Loyalty seems to be at an all-time low.  The internet helps buyers gain tons of information and we as licensees have to prove our worth and value even more today.

Why should a buyer pick one agent to work with and be loyal?  Is there a way a buyer can do that? We ask sellers to commit to one brokerage with an agreement so why don’t we ask buyers for the same commitment?  Let’s find out how.

This is an online independent study course completed on demand. Participants are able to exit and reenter the course as needed, and will independently complete reading of the text and watching a mandatory 90-minute pre-recorded video from an instructor.
