May. 24, 2006 - Are You Really Going To Charge Me For That?

Hi kids. It's been awhile huh? Sorry. I've been busy.

Remember when I talked about how there are people out there who try to sell us real estate agents all kinds of stuff and how if we foolishly buy everything that comes down the pike we have to try and make it up in our commission structure? Well here's another one. Good old friendly Dr. Bill. Yes indeed folks, Dr. Bill wants to sell me and my fellow agents a list of agents names and numbers.

Just think about it. I could throw out all these useless business cards I've collected over the years. I would no long need the free directory the Association gives me once a year. I could abandon the national real estate forums I participate in. I wouldn't need any of this free stuff any more because I can buy the names and numbers from Dr. Bill and pass the cost on to my my clients via higher commissions. Isn't that a splendid idea?

Won't you please leave us alone Bill Bailey?
