The new contracts are not release yet but here is how it is going to work:* Buyer's are required to sign a agreement with their agent that sets a commission amount* Seller's will sign a listing agreement only for the listing agent's commission* Offers to purchase will include a buyer's agent commission amount* Offers will be presented as net to the seller* Buyer's may have to cover the difference between their contract commission amount with their agent and what the seller is willing to pay.One important thing to note is when we run comps on the MLS both commissions were always included, so that needs to be adjusted if a seller is not willing to pay a commission.

The opportunities are suggesting me to bring the rates even further down, even though the strategy is set about mid-way in the revenue range.I did make a few adjustments to the pricing though, so I'm curious to see if the search impressions move around at all.So I take it that VRBO actually doesn't boost new properties by a little bit automatically?

We could have changed this but that home is only a part time rental and the tenant seemed to adjust. 

Sometimes a simple conversation will help your property manger understand how to better meet your expectations and adjust accordingly, and it's easier than switching to an entirely new company.

If a RE value increases at the rate of inflation, you have no gain from appreciation in inflation adjusted dollars without leverage.
