Do your research and price appropriately to your market and your competitors.I agree with Michael Baum.My 2 cents,Mike

@Shawn Dandridge we 100% agree with @Nathan GesnerSuggest you find a PMC in the area that will just do Placement Only.They'll be better at it than 97% of real estate agents.

Yes, it's easy to ask you these questions after the fact, but you won't succeed unless you carefully review your mistakes and learn from them.Not sure I agree with your statement, "RTR knew they’d messed up".
