Have you noticed its everywhere.?  Have you noticed how everyone wants to offer it?  It doesn’t matter whether its free or paid for a lot of people are offering advice.  I find often I’m overwhelmed with advice.  The real problem is finding good/quality advice.

Flipping real estate attracts a lot of unsolicited opinions & advice from others.  We just started a new rehab on a property that had been vacant less than a year.  The second day on the job we had the neighbors stop by.  In less than 5 minutes the neighbors were offering a lot of unsolicited advice in regards to what & how we should be doing to improving the property.  With a smile & patience we listen, nod & smile more, then we continue to listen, nod & smile more & still we listen, nod & smile more.  Finally we just start working again.  Whether their opinions are good or bad are irrelevant,it doesn’t matter because we didn’t ask for their opinions.

If we are really listening when we are in conversations then we will be aware of when someone truly wants our opinion.  We have found the best people to get advice from are those who are good listeners.  The good listener hears what we you are saying, they reflect on what’s being communicated.  They are more focused on what we are saying then thinking about what they want to say.   The good listener will say less, however when they do speak it is more likely to be quality information.

We wish you the best finding the quality over the quantity.
