To nip confusion in the bud before it happens, I make sure that there is explicit language in my Statement of Work (engagement letter) to cover this stuff.  

Generally Niles is pretty good to work with if you have your ducks in a row prior to engaging with them.

Unless the end buyer specifically engages you for your help with something.

Suggesting that others engage in it is irresponsible.  

The C.A.R. forms are standardized and accepted throughout the state; they have already been reviewed/approved by attorneys and have been determined to be legal; real estate agents, attorneys and judges are already familiar with them; and some (most) brokers probably require their agents to use the standard C.A.R. forms when engaging in real estate transactions.Whether it's the "best" lease, well that depends on what you need.

I'd like to transition into real estate investment, and that's the reason I'm part of the BP community.But, I'm curious.. for those who are already engaged in RE investment, what tools or technologies do you think the industry could use and benefit from that doesn't really exist yet?

To get myself started, I am looking to expand my network and knowledge by engaging with you.

On 4/26/2016 I engaged a local realtor to serve as my exclusive agent concerning the sale of one of my properties.

I look forward to engaging and connecting with the community.
