TIPS FOR REALTORS
Case Study written in July 30, 1998
Do you need to have a good landlord-realtor relationship?

"Since you didn't bring your Company receipt book, I will not pay you," said Mr Yeo.  

He had asked the Asia USA realtor to go to his house to collect the cheque at night and had not disclosed that he wanted an official receipt immediately.

He would not accept a signed document acknowledging receipt of his cheque. Back to the office to get the receipt book.

Note to first-time Realtors:

You may need to carry receipt books and letterheads as you will encounter such cases when you are longer into the business.

There are Owners who don't really like to work with realtors and prefer the house to be vacant.

Investment-minded Owners cultivate the best relationship and make good friends with the rental realtors.
