we build ground up and don't collateralize anything. we build at a discount in Columbus Ohio and we build cheaper than every builder I've seen in our market and because of that we make each person self fund a retainer account. we don't extend any credit to anyone. opposite of what you are saying. builders that bring value call the shots. 

I can say that I never meet with sellers to tour properties because I'm selling at a healthy discount so I don't need to hold peoples hands through the process.  

****Before you discount the delivery of sticky notes - I want you to know this was my most successful buying campaign yet.Facebook Paid AdvertisingTo set up your campaign, start by creating a compelling ad.

Yes, all of the above, some people will continue to pay for a full service agent, some people will pay for a discount, some people will forgo agents all together, I think we will see alot more variation then we currently see, but just like any other business there will be tiers, Ritz, Marriott, Courtyard, Fairfield inn but for agents. 

My advice would be to buy at a significant discount to REAL value so that the law of averages works out for you. 

After being told there would be no pressure, on the second Zoom call she told us we had to sign up then by paying the $8K fee or risk losing a "$2K discount" and paying $10K later.

Partner with local businesses for exclusive guest discounts and offer special occasion packages for celebrations, adding a unique and personalized touch to their stay.

Many properties are unrented, even at heavily discounted rates.  

I would rather work with someone who is willing to offer FMV or at least close to it with the understanding to the Seller that the discount is in the convenience. 

You should negotiate a bigger discount.
