@Heidi Fahringer wasted time doing several calls and then a meeting with a CPA and then got shocked with their proposed fee.After even more wasted time trying to find out from them why the fee was 10x what I had been paying - a lightbulb in my head finally lit up and I asked the revealing question and found they had a minimum charge.Obviously, we were not a fit.

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator.So, the first question they usually ask a PMC is about fees - instead of asking about services and HOW those services are executed.EXAMPLE: PMC states they will handle tenant screening – what does that specifically mean?

And on the flip side, if I know that I'm going to be the only offer on a house as a buyers agent, I have a pretty solid chance of getting the service fee that I want.

They know we're serious about late fee enforcement.

Although you can completely finance the deal (0% down), you will still need some money for closing costs and/or the funding fee.

Small fees involved, but nothing publicly recorded.
