Did perception change.

When people hear/read the name, ideally it tells them something about you and begins to shape their perceptions of you in the way you want them to be shaped.

This could be due to extra responsibilities, extra cost, false perceptions, or mis-education.

I hope you will find an answer and more clarity to your first question under the conclusion section.http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/06/28/abcs-real-estate-asset-classes/Although our company is a turnkey provider I contribute to the forum with my perceptions, opinions and experiences and not to sell any of my properties.

Perception is key in raising capital.

Any way you can change their perception?

What I don't like is this fee ($150, or $300 double incentive) almost gives the perception that if I don't authorize a agent fee then my rental will go to the bottom of the list and never get shown.  

As in many businesses, perception can play a role in their decision to deal with you or find another buyer.

The catch all in Dodd-Frank is "any scheme or method used with the intent of circumventing the Act" the intent of the exemption is to allow some reasonable number of dealers, mainly small dealers or homeowners to be allowed to conduct such business, this really is anchored in the perception of public policy I think, a few deals may get someone shafted, but OTH, there is more public good that comes from allowing these exemptions in the bigger picture.

Perception means a lot to a tenant.
