SDR I know your story,mostly by taking away the ten foot pole you were using to stay away from me and beating it out of you ,sorry ;).
I am not sure I would repeat what I have done with regard to withdrawing from the business completely(or cursing out mortgage people) .Maybe I was taking too much responsibilty? I could have helped a few sellers in my “circle of influence” . I didn’t farm (or pimp) at all not even passing out business cards. I guess I am still basically on the sidelines. There are a few listing I could go for,not sure I want to be stuck between reality and most sellers. The exposure to you, sdrealtor,bugs and the situations various posters are in, is great.
