I
I happened to be talking with
a friend who was a fellow
investor, and I mentioned
Ms. Jordan, the lady that I
was dealing with, and how
frustrated I’d become. He
looked at me with a little sly smile on
his face. He said, “You mean Alice
Jordan”? I said yes.
Needless to say, I was stunned. The
uncontrollable thoughts started again. I
quickly took control by feebly asking,
“Uh, how do you know Ms. Jordan”?
His answe r cut like a knife. “Everybody
knows old Alice. She gets lonely and
calls on someone’s newspaper ad or
direct mail piece. That’s how she
entertains herself. She never leaves
the house.’
I was crushed. I was merely an old
lady’s entertainment. Everyone else
knew about Ms. Jordan. I didn’t. My
friend even called her by her first name!!
That’s when I learned how important it is
not to waste time on sellers that are not
motivated. By the time you make an
offer based on your profit criteria and
you get a counter offer back from the
seller, you’ll know whether you have a
motivated seller or not.
