I've seen some do an acid wash and not try to cover up the existing but just clean it up.In the photo, the real wall paint color is by Sherwin Williams Interactive Cream.

@Dave Foster Thanks for the detailed reply!

I like the aspect of the traditional route because I get to learn more about the process and interact more with clients (as far as helping find homes). 

 @Dave Foster Thanks for quick response.  

She wrote down all the interactions in her CRM.

In more astute owner/property manager interactions, the contractor will be TOLD to decrease their price ASAP or the contractor would be terminated for any future consideration.I would most definitely contact the contractor to get the low down as to why it is more, since the property manager won't do it.It sounds like since you are doing a la carte service as opposed to full service, you are getting some bad answers from the property manager. 

I'm Asperger's, which means I was born without the "bones in my head" which help us relate to and interact with others.

Thanks @Dave Foster!

@Dave Foster when you're a one man show with big goals you gotta be wired.
