Client. That means we've meet, have reached abusiness understanding (contract) so this is, as your question states, an deepening of their engagement with the outcome of them giving their blood, sweat, tears and undying loyalty.

I give them tools they can use to assist in the real estate goals.

An example or two:

CIS Score (buyer, seller, citizen)

REIT spreadsheet (investor)

Joist app (flipper)

BEP - (buyer)
