Key Quotes:

💬 "If you don't control the conversation, the seller will control you—and you'll never get the deal."

💬 "The best investors don’t convince sellers to sell—they ask the right questions to help the seller convince themselves."

💬 "You need to be consultative, but you also need to know when to walk away. Desperation kills deals."

💬 "A good lead is not just someone who says they want to sell—it’s someone who checks at least 3 out of 6 key boxes."

💬 "If you’re afraid to ask tough questions, you’ll always lose to the investor who isn’t."
