  1. Thanks for the new things you have disclosed in your writing. One thing I would like to reply to is that FSBO human relationships are built after some time. By introducing yourself to the owners the first saturday and sunday their FSBO can be announced, before the masses start off calling on Friday, you develop a good interconnection. By mailing them tools, educational products, free records, and forms, you become a good ally. If you take a personal desire for them and also their situation, you produce a solid relationship that, oftentimes, pays off once the owners decide to go with a broker they know along with trust – preferably you.
