Heather Listar returns to the podcast with Sam to share a bizarre true-story about a recent real estate transaction she had that you will have to hear to believe! Heather is a Real Estate Agent in Greenville, SC and a fellow BNI member with 16 years experience in both areas. Over the course of her career in real estate, Heather has encountered many unusual and unique situations, but this one definitely takes the cake, or rather takes the cow. Listen as Heather shares her unbelievable story of receiving a real estate referral that involved a dead cow in the house on an abandoned property, what steps she took to turn the situation around to make it a huge win for her sellers, and how she came up with a creative and memorable way to present the story to her BNI chapter that has kept her top-of-mind for referrals.
