We know that, and we constantly seek out feedback from our customers.  

Hi BP community, What is the industry norm (average) for referring a customer to a business broker who is looking to buy a business?

Throwing that word around in conversation and in emails with your deals or with "customers" (not called "clients"- also implies a legal relationship) can come back to bite you.

Given the area of Del Cerro, we used high end finishes throughout and every detail was carefully picked out from the door knobs to the iPad control station to Bose surround sound throughout the house to LED mirrors to the Versailles travertine floors to the wall hung toilets to the custom cabinets w/ granite countertops, etc...Nothing was left untouched!

They might do it free for you if you're a good customer, they might charge 1%, they might demand a full 6%.  

if so that is SKY high.unless he is carrying the job for you..but if your paying all subs and providing all the capital and its not a one off custom build you will find that 15% of cost is just about all your profit or equity. 

All of my customers knew about the house too and they were all bidding in the same range I was.If $61,000 is the most you'd be willing to pay for the house, offer $61k.  

I just feel you can get a more custom tailored set-up that's best for YOU, not the masses going to an attorney vs. the cookie cutter set-up I'd imagine is available online..

@Scott Costello really active here on Bigger Pockets had set up his own site w/ a professional web developer who was great... but wasn't stellar at setting up a site that performs well... and it got ranked well and got some leads... but then he setup a Carrot site and gets 5x more leads through his Carrot site vs. his custom site.

Thankfully, I have a background in Customer Support, Sales, and collegiate level athletics which I think all point me in the direction of pursing the world of Real Estate Investment.
