donedeal,
Dealing with real estate buyers or sellers is extremely difficult in any transaction. I learned ver yearly in real estate that people change their minds quick on all matters. But, If u hire me to do a job for u, I need to be compensated for my time involved even if u change your mind.
I wanted to start taking retainer fees (like attorneys and others do) but I chose to concentrate fully on Sellers and getting the listings.
Thank u for being the 1st person today to actually not bash me for my real estate actions.
Well, I can't bash something I don't know about so it is all fine to me. I wouldn't take anything that happened in the forums today too personally. I read all of the pertinent threads and I think everyone (you included) is just in a mood to blow off steam.
Plus, many people probably have a legitimate desire to learn things and no one wants to be out of the know on a subject of their profession; on the otherhand, as it is clearly stated in the BPO/REO forum a large percentage of people here advocate keeping specific trade secrets and money-making information and systems to themselves---I think those people probably agree with you that you should not expose your system. So it is balancing two competing mindsets within the same web community. Of course you should understand that people want to know, learn, understand as much as possible about their field and so when you proclaim something new, then those who are learners, perfectionists, etc naturally want to understand---as it should be.
