The “Skinny Contract” I have been using to control millions of dollars in real estate over the last 30 years is a simple, one-page document.

Which Telephone Number is BEST for Business?
Hello Mr. Parrish. I watched the online videos already today! Great Job! I do want to ask one question….as I market toward my motivated sellers….while watching the videos….would it wise to get a toll free number (800, 888, etc) or do you just give out a cell phone number? I have heard also of people getting ”live receptionists” to take calls as well? Thank you, and hope to meet you soon!
