I am glad you responded with the comment you made. It's a hard lesson for some people to learn but those that have been around all know how important it is to be available when a call comes in. I am curious though.... Were you with anyone when you diverted to go meet the homeowner? Either way.... Doing what you did took a lot of guts. I am a fan of yours! -Jim Flipping Houses.

I had a similiar experience while on my way to a wedding. I went to meet the homeowner and made it back in time for the reception. The deal took another two weeks but the owner said my response time was the biggest factor that lead to her accepting the deal. Great story! I had a similiar experience while on my way to a wedding.
