Anyone who sleeps under a roof or aspires to do so who is not currently LEGALLY committed, via contract, to a real estate professional.

There are customers who are financially incapable of buying, some who do not know what to buy and others who will never make up their mind. These are customers that can prove problematic if an agents bandwidth is finite.
