Property managers often say, "It's easier to manage a stranger's rent than a friend's excuses." That line hits different when the rent is late and your so-called friend is giving you a guilt trip instead of a payment.
Let's dig into this often-overlooked dilemma every property manager eventually faces, because whether you're leasing out a single unit or managing an entire block, this question will catch up with you someday: What if your tenant is your friend?
When Friendship Feels Like a Good Lease Agreement.

FAILING TO ACCURATELY ASSESS A BUYERS’ NEEDS DOES NOT MAKE THE BUYER UNSERIOUS.
As a veteran in the real estate marketing space, I frequently encounter situations where leads, or referrals from the Real Estate Database (RED) are not properly followed up to closing. When I confront agents about these missed opportunities, I often hear excuses such as the lead or potential buyer "was unserious."
This response is frustrating and concerning to me because it implies a lack of effort and professionalism on the part of the agent. It's disheartening to have to repeatedly educate agents about the importance of treating all potential clients with equal respect and diligence, regardless of their perceived seriousness.
It's baffling to me how a potential buyer could come across a 400 million or 600 million property on the Real Estate Database (RED), express interest through an inquiry, arrange for a tour of the property with a real estate agent, and often times even pay search fees, only for the agent to turn around and dismiss the lead as "unserious."
