This candid conversation addresses and completely disarms the three most common questions/objections that Realtors® ask when they first hear about this program, namely: 1. How can you legally earn a mortgage commission without getting a license? 2. Thanks, but I already have a job. 3. Everyone knows that that's a conflict of interest.
