Hello Aubree , just a question for you. Do you have to make clients sign a contract just to see listing and any other information, and not allowing them to contact any other agents?. Thanks, Anthony
So the quick answer is, yes, we sign buyers agency agreements to do business with anyone. The longer answer is I wouldn’t work with anyone who 1) doesn’t present that agreement to you and go over their services and what an agency relationship is, 2) can’t explain that agreement to you or 3) doesn’t use that agreement. As a realtor I have a fiduciary responsibility to my clients and I can’t do that with just a customer relationship. Per our board and the natl association of realtors we are supposed to get an agreement signed before we ever go out to show a house. The industry as a whole got lazy around this and didn’t hold the standard until here recently. Also, a realtor doesn’t earn a paycheck until a property closes, so making sure that time and effort is going to end in a paycheck (obviously it’s not about just a paycheck, but talking business here) this is all very important. Happy to chat more about this if you want. I’m pretty passionate about business being done well and with transparency.
Great job as always
Thank you! Cheers!

We want to come visit any suggestions where ,area or town to stay that would be centrally located ? To go to all these towns

Staying in Greenville downtown will keep you pretty central to everything! It’s 15-30 min drive wherever you’d want to go from there then!
