    How to Network Properly

    btw just a comment here about this forum, and I do post on a few others although not frequently, but this forum ranks as the most defensive or aggressive (depending on what you post) - I`m not sure why - not matter what I post, if it sounds like it makes sense I`m either remorsely attacked or...

    QUOTE (housingrental @ Dec 11 2010, 11:19 AM) Neil treats his tenants with respect and care A more customer service focused landlord is rare Don't read too much into one graphic on a blog I didn't mean to suggest he wasn't a good landlord (as I mentioned), but the comic does seem...

    How to Network Properly

    Nice post, but the comic you have posted on your blog, "Thanks for paying my mortgage!!", in whatever context you mean, is probably not the wise thing to do. As landlords we should and must value our tenants and treat them with the respect they deserve, particualrly when tenants pay us large...

    QUOTE (RedlineBrett @ Nov 19 2010, 03:39 PM) Wow you and I might agree on something else... We probably agree on most things, afterall we are real-estate investors and gotta take your hat off to guys who take the chance on a startup and make it work.

    QUOTE (JohnS @ Nov 19 2010, 02:15 PM) Oh, how you make me laugh, JD. It`s posts of mine that mention your inappropriate insults that are the problem, and not the insults themselves. I totally understand that logic. Anyway, moving on to the idea of part-time realtors (which is a good topic to...

    QUOTE (RedlineBrett @ Nov 19 2010, 01:39 PM) I`d like to see it require at least two years of post secondary education in some field to get a license. I`d also like to see the board`s continuing education initiatives supported with an additional designation... Like a `professional realtor`...

    QUOTE (gwasser @ Nov 19 2010, 10:34 AM) I agree that a good accreditation process is essential. Also maybe a period of training on the job under a more experienced Realtor before the starting Realtor is let loose on the unsuspecting public. Currently the accreditation based on theoretical...

    QUOTE (gwasser @ Nov 19 2010, 09:29 AM) No they don`t, experienced Realtors know that the committed and good ones will stay. The others, for whatever reason will go. I never felt unwelcome - except maybe when dealing with the Real Estate Board which seemed to see me as a milk cow. I worked for...

    QUOTE (gwasser @ Nov 19 2010, 09:04 AM) Many lawyers work part-time so are many doctors. The stress level of dealing with other people`s problems is just too high so a large proportion either takes a lot of vacation or limit their working hours. Furthermore, not every Realtor is in it for the...

    QUOTE (housingrental @ Nov 19 2010, 08:35 AM) Hi JDaley Your last post on Godfried was inappropriate though I take no issue with your real estate related content. He is highly regarded and could be viewed as a rare and honest visionairy for disgruntled service providers from coast to coast. Hi...

    QUOTE (JohnS @ Nov 18 2010, 10:08 PM) You see, that`s the corallory to the deal you rejected. If you won`t agree to stop attacking others (in return for my not mentioning it), then you must want to continue attacking others. Which means that I`ll continue to point it out. I`m not saying negative...

    QUOTE (JohnS @ Nov 17 2010, 09:38 PM) Thanks for the laugh, chum! Four points attacking another person in only a few sentences....you`re getting good at this! Calling me a "chum" doesn`t add to the discussion. Please try to add something new. Thanks.

    QUOTE (bizaro86 @ Nov 17 2010, 12:49 PM) Indeed. I have participated in several forums where a long-running disagreement between a few members has spilled over into every thread, making the whole board unreadable. Its too bad, because it can destroy a whole online community. Michael Not only...

    QUOTE (RedlineBrett @ Nov 17 2010, 10:19 AM) I got into real estate sales after working with a couple realtors and thinking I could do a lot better job. A `culling of the heard` will be good for the true professionals and the cream always rises to the top. I agree, those with drive and passion...

    QUOTE (housingrental @ Nov 17 2010, 09:57 AM) In practice realtor`s should also embrace this topic as a potential goldmine - it presents an opportunity to be ahead of the curve in restructuring their business to serve clients in a different way - and to make good $$ for a small investor focused...

    QUOTE (gwasser @ Nov 17 2010, 08:22 AM) Really hope that the moderators leave this example of JDaley `Attacking the point not the person` on-line. As a mild example of all the ones that have been deleted. It perfectly illustrates the points made by earlier posters. From now on lets ignore this...

    QUOTE (JohnS @ Nov 16 2010, 09:01 PM) Well, first off, I`m not a realtor, and apparently the entire public is on your side, so I don`t know where I fit into your scenario. And, it wasn`t a cheap shot. You made a statement that was patently untrue, and I called you on it, expecting you to respond...

    QUOTE (RedlineBrett @ Nov 16 2010, 04:21 PM) I have nothing to fear of you and other than the one post I made (which was deleted) I`m not the one making things personal. The REIN guys chewed me out for that one just like I`m sure you got an earful. I think REIN actually likes you because they...

    QUOTE (JohnS @ Nov 16 2010, 02:59 PM) However, he keeps writing as if he knows everything, and as if they`re facts that the stupidest person should understand. But, they`re not facts at all, and merely his opinions. And when people disagree with his opinions, he takes it as a personal attack...
