The deal you killed by NOT picking up the phone
How many deals have you walked away from on paper that would have been yours with one call?
Here's what I see happen to newbies in this business all the time:
They open the listing. They run the numbers at list price. The deal doesn't pencil.
Then they never made the call based on assumptions.
The property is sitting on the market for a reason.
Most of the time the reason isn't the price — it's that nobody has shown up with the right structure.
And you don't find that out from a spreadsheet.
You find it out by picking up the phone and asking three questions the average investor never asks:
👉 What's the seller's situation?
👉 Why is it sitting?
👉 What would have to be true for this to move?
Nine times out of ten the broker tells you the seller is rigid and you cross it off.
But that one in ten?
That's a deal nobody else in your market is even looking at.
Because they're still in their spreadsheet.
That's why I put together Call The Broker.
It's the exact questions I use on broker calls, the order I ask them in, and how to read the answers when they come back.
