.✅ Buyers still working with buyer’s agents✅ Most sellers still offering a buyer’s agent compensation✅ More transparency to buyers and sellersSure there were some changes, but I am seeing things are BUSINESS AS USUAL.Seller’s are still given the opportunity to negotiate all commissions (including if they choose to pay a buyer’s agent), and buyers are still given the opportunity to do the same regarding their agent’s commission

So, if the tenant did that and got fired, you are the landlord would compensate them for the loss of their job?

My second suggestion is to change how divorce attorneys get compensated, which would be for the results and not how many billable hours they can rack up by making things more complicated and hostile than they need to be.That's all I had in terms of unrealistic ideas for today..

For example, an agent would collect a reduced commission, flat transaction fee, or no commission if the buyer sources an off-market deal directly.In your case, if you'd like to compensate your agent, you can include it in the loan.

These efforts to avoid paying Vrbo compensation are a marketplace violation and may result in penalties, including termination.

If you're getting a lot of traction with prospective but qualified tenants that would like to view the unit - let them know the time that the leasing/showing agent will be there so they can view the interior.If they're going to lease the property for you - one to half a months rent is fair compensation.

If something happens to affect the cost you might be able to change the scope of work or timeline to compensate for that.   

thank  you Laura -I do feel good about the compensation as they have been our only boots on the ground as we just can’t use “ friends” anymore ..I also found out that the $500 monthly fee is lifted once the place is rented and she goes to a much lower rate / hourly when things arise .I just thought it was a unique price structure and have never heard of things executed as such before .Thanks again for your reply-Christian

And then add a sluggish market where they can't raise rents to compensate...... 

The expectation should be for higher returns to compensate for the illiquidity, but it's part of the deal.
