TOPIC: "I'm Just Calling To Say You're An Idiot"

I think I'd have been on the floor laughing...nice job Jay of not falling apart!    I leave my card and a short letter, explaining who I am, what I did, and asking them to let me know if they have questions or if anything isn't left as I found it.  So far, haven't had anyone call, so either I'm doing a decent job or "Minnesota-nice" is too overpowering! 

Hurry up and get over to Real-Estate-Forums.net...Ian and I (and Kevin) are the only guys doing the bulk of the posting!  I'm sure it'll get better, it's a very easy format to use.

Casey - I am on so many forums now, and managing three blogs and my AR stuff.  I haven't time to do another one.  I am really busy at work, and then I have family, church and Scouts on top of that.  Time is time...   

Jay, did you send him your $1000 bill yet?

Jay, Are you talking about leaving a card for your client or for the homeowner?  The reason I ask is because in OR I could leave a card for the home owner but I would not be able to tell them anything about what I found.  So I couldn't write something about their house on the card. 

Doug - I leave a message when I find a dangerous condition, like a gas odor or something.  Every now and then people try to cover up the broken ice maker with phony ice and I make a comment to the sellers.  Here is a post:

If I know the sellers are still looking to buy a house I leave my card or make it a point to speak with them.  I pick up a lot of business that way.

Here the sellers and their agent receive a copy of the report by virtue of the VA sales contract, but not from me.  They receive it from the buyer's agent.  Once they see my report and how I do things they often call me back too, and I pick up business that way.
