Welcome to Bigger Pockets. It is a good place to connect with real estate professionals and to learn about real estate. For example, you set up key word alerts. http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

 Thanksw Mark! Much appreciated.

Since you've got a background in real estate, you might consider linking up with some of the newbies in your area to share your experiences!

Feel free to reach out to me if you have any trouble using BiggerPockets, or need any help determining how best to connect with folks!

 Thank you Scott!

 Hi Joe,
With some digging, they do exist, especially in the outlying areas of Seattle, such as Snohomish  and Pierce Counties.  http://commercialmls.com is a great resource for taking a look around.  The rental rates are soaring around here now, as is the case in many areas.

 Hi Joe! 

Thank you for the welcome. I think you left out a word in your question, but I do offer 1/2 of the selling office commission as a rebate as a possible answer. :)

I've been a real estate agent for 25 years, and owned a large real estate firm for 7 of those years (with a property management division in addition to sales).

I've recently started a new consumer-focused real estate brokerage that offers flat fee services and buyer rebates. I hold the (largely) unpopular view that times are changing, and so must the out-dated commission structures of the past.
