How Does Your Broker/Agent Answer Your Questions?

After going down memory lane the other day, I realized how lucky I was as a young man struggling to make the transition from homes to investments. It wasn’t another side of real estate, it was another world. What had to be learned was daunting. I spent thousands of ’70’s dollars attending seminars conducted by the icons of real estate investment and exchanging.

Guys like Chuck Chatham, Bill Broadbent, Royce Ringsdorf, and Chet Allen just to name a few. These were the guys I looked up to back in the ’70’s when I landed in their seminars. It was like learning how to hit from Ted Williams; how to pitch from Sandy Koufax; and how to play center field by Willie Mays. In short, it was incredible. Each three day seminar was 24 hours of classroom gold.

I wrote a post on BloodhoundBlog about what I learned about answering questions. You can see it here.

What I learned from Mr. Chatham’s seminar those three days has proven priceless.

  • I knew all three, Chuck Chatham, Bill Broadbent, Royce Ringsdorf and Chet Allen. I agree with your statement.s I still stay in touch with Bill and Chet, Royce and Chuck passed away. Does anyone know how to reach Chuck’s sons?

  • Cliff — I don’t, but they were based in Pasedena when I met Chuck and Rocky.

    Did you or a relative ever work in San Diego? My dad’s company had an agent named Carl Strand back in the 60’s.

  • Question: is anyone still teaching anything similar to Chatham’s courses: the Art of Real Estate Counseling? I’d like to see if I could provide that material for the brokers & managers in our market. Hard to find anyone with an orientation of actual counseling.
    Thanks – Lon

  • Lon — I’m not sure anyone is really teaching it at Chuck’s level. At least I haven’t heard of any.

    Don’t be a stranger, OK?
