Sometimes you have to give up some things in exchange for others. If they are more competitive or pay better commissions or easier to underwrite, they may be worse in customer service or paying claims.

cant have it all these days it seems...................

Are you contracted with SofN? When I first started submitting business it was tough to get in touch with someone, but for a month or so when I call they answer. Sent an e-mail to commissions at 4:32 and the lady has already replied.

I give cases away for that reason. Sometimes I get something in return sometimes, especially if a small case, It is just good karma. .

I looked on the SC site and saw the fee was only $25 so I reinstated an old license. Spend $25 to make $500+. I don't work the term market like I should. In the last week I have had 3 clients call and wanted coverage. Monthly premium of about $700 so that helps keep my as earned check enough to make the house payment.

Yeah, some of the states are crazy low cost.

VA I believe is something like $25. We just our KS renewal = $50. As I recal LA is something like that as well.

The People's Republic of Kalifornia is just shy of $200. And 30 units of CEs.

I had a client from CA call a while back and wanted coverage. I renewed my license and something the company found on the APS pissed him off and he did not accept the offer. Threatened to sue me and I told him his beef was with the company. Did not try to shop the case after he caused such a stir so I don't know if he ever obtained a policy. Cost me money.

Low hanging fruit. That cost you what about the cost of a few leads? Nature of the beast.

Recently gave away a case in Washington state. I think the nonres is something like $50. but it was a little policy and should have been f2f. Another, in NY, good client I have written a couple of time. Contacted me from this forum years ago. I turned him over to someone I trust to take care of him. Good Karma.

I have gotten a lot of cases from this forum. Many from agents. I have given business to just about every agency on this forum. Sometimes I may call one of the IMOs and ask if they have an agent in area or I will just call a couple of agents. More importantly, I have made some great connections here.

Yeah, but it does suck to pay for a license and the deal falls through or charges back.
