My question is, how do you guys typically evaluate real estate agent performance?

Real Estate “Enhanced ROI” TechniquesSummary of advanced techniques used in real estate transactions to enhance return on investment, yield and velocity of capital resulting in greater wealth1.

By making targeted upgrades and ensuring the property was well-maintained, I was able to enhance its appeal to prospective tenants, thereby increasing occupancy rates and rental income.

The way I look at it, it doesn't help you if you don't cash it out. if the property is performing correctly it will carry the mortgage all the while pulling basically cash out to put into further deals.

This is a company that will perform scheduled inspections of your rental property to identify deferred maintenance needs, dubious tenant activities (say, illegal pets, bad housekeeping, failure to change HVAC filters etc). 

If an agent performs work for a consumer before having an agreement in place, then they are in violation of the Sitzer/NAR settlement.

Some mentees will act as a bloodhound for the mentor, knocking on doors, driving for dollars, scouring the internet, making cold calls, or performing other services that help the mentor find new deals.

I'd look into AirDNA comps to see performance with/without.

I also pay for performance, meaning if my selling realtor gets my full net-price or better, I bonus them an extra .2% (which would be $2,400 in this example).

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, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!
