Better yet, instead of concentrating on this commission perhaps spend more energy working on your next sale or existing ones.

However, I often find myself thinking that there is more opportunity out there for me to be had, and real estate has always intrigued me and I have invested a ton of time and energy into learning as much about the business as possible. 

I've generally pushed rents up about 5% to 7% from last year, but didn't get much increase for a couple years before that. if I do appearance and energy upgrades I get superior rent for the neighborhood.The precise location of your building will impact your ability to increase rent.

Thanks for sending some positive energy my way.

Before doing so, I wanted to make sure I had All-Star realtor I could work with, and what better forum to seek such a person that Bugger Pockets?!

As long as they’re out and you can move in decent people that’s what I’d focus my energy on.

He was SUPER high energy if that helps. 

They have a 2 star rating on nerdwallet, 1.5 star rating on yelp, 5 star rating on zillow (i don't know about the zillow ratings...i noticed that a lot of lenders and realtors on zillow have close to perfect ratings.), "A" rating on BBB (although 80% of the comments left for caliber on the BBB website are negative, apparently customer comments are not taken into consideration for BBB ratings), and a 4.5 star rating on consumer affairs.I know when it comes to online reviews, people are a lot more apt to writing a negative review when something goes wrong versus a positive one when everything goes as expected. 

What I Can Offer:• My time and energy to find properties, financing, and buyers• Landscaping (curb appeal)• Assistance

I’m not telling you to give up, just to refocus your energy.
