Yes, the Force is strong in Nathan.
I suppose it's a lot like most things in life- it is the perception of value. This forum has a wealth of free advice for any Newbie- yet many people want to divest themselves of responsibility in their decision making process. I'm paying someone therefore I should get something in return. If it goes wrong I'll blame Nathan. That's all very well but it was the investor who loses the dough. Blaming Nathan isn't going to bring it back.
I'm not a big fan of buyer's agents or what I understand to be Nathan's strategy- but it may work for other people. The 10k with respect is better spent on a deposit in my view.
I can't recall the last time Nathan posted here- I recall he was quite active and built a profile here- and indeed obtained some clients it would seem. The knowledge is now pay-to-access which is a good little wicket I suppose. As a lawyer I get much of this commercially confidential info free from my clients so I suppose I may have a negative view on paying for tricks of the trade.
Personally I don't buy into the whole behind the scenes referral thing with Agents- I've probably referred 4 properties in the last year to agents I know will get the best price for the seller. In fact I spent an hour on Friday (free of charge) telling an old lady who had signed up with an agent how to keep him honest and not to sell before holding at least 1 open house so we don't get any agent shenanigans. All this effort for a $650 conveyance (I make much more on my litigation practice) probably loses me money- but as I see over and over this world seems to be those with knowledge and deception gaining advantage over the na?ve and trusting.
On a lucky day I get to sue the wrongdoers and make their life a misery- but those days are few and far between.
Ultimately people have to be comfortable with their moral compass. The scary part is that some people delude themselves as to the true direction of their compass.
