I guess semi related to this thread.
My sons GF closed a deal on a $750k home while she was with us in Turks. The first day in Turks at dinner, she was telling us about this lady (buyer) as she texted her while we were eating. How she was very demanding and would call/text at all hours of the night, the latest was like 11pm lol. She made sure to tell my sons GF, make sure your available to me at all times of the day while your on vacation. She felt like the lady was pulling her chain, making her jump thru hoops and maybe was getting off an making this young girl do as she said at all times of the day. Low and behold, that day while we were eating dinner, she told my sons GF to put a $750k offer on something in the city (Lincoln Park Area). The seller accepted the following day. By far her biggest sale to date, she has been doing this for around 3yrs.
I guess whatever company she works for, makes you work your way up to that type of cliental. But they also make you work in every aspect of the buying/selling process for months before you can start listing houses and or putting in offers for buyers. So in reality, she has only been doing that for about 1.5yrs.
