That probably took him down to making 8G, and call it 2 hours per showing, plus 20 hours for the house I bought, and he's sitting at just a $50 something an hour. And I could have decided to not buy any place and he would have gotten zero....
Right now I think it looks like easy money, but there are periods where those guys starve, and the good times are all part of the job, just as the bad times are.

Wow, dude, that's nuts. I mean, you can vet them on the Internet before seeing them in person. I can't believe you needed to go to 60 places.
Travis - what do you figure the average number of homes one of your clients needs to see before buying?
