#6 Be Persistent: Continued existence or occurance. The continuance of an effect after its cause is removed. The Big Fish: A few months ago, I received a Lead that was looking for a home up to $1.5 Million in my area. It had his name, e-mail, and his phone number. I called him that same night...yes...he was prequalified for that amount! We set a time to homes for later that week. I scheduled all of the appointments.

The company that the husband was interviewing with is in Arcadia, so they listed Arcadia as their purchasing prefrence. Their budget was presented to me along with the area square footage and lot size dimensions they desired to purchase in Arcadia. Needless to say, they were a bit taken back by the selling costs of homes in Southern California, not to mention the Arcadia area. As nice as it is, their purchasing Arcadia may not be too realistic, and having known their financial expectations in advance, I had prepared a tour of neighboring cities in Monrovia and Azusa to augment our preliminary searches in Monrovia. (This story continues, and become... 08/06/2007
