If we have struggles and headaches with our own employees, imagine what you can run into when you are looking for a contractor in another state or across the country who has no loyalty to you? 

In re: to maintenance remember to balance cost-efficiency for the property with loyalty to your own company.

Then, they have no real loyalty and will just bounce to other agents that will give them what they want to hear.

In return for my loyalty it her, she will field so tenants requests.

They have no brand recognition and little loyalty.  

With bidding wars, maybe there's less sense of loyalty between investor and GC, but I don't know any GC's well enough to be loyal to any of them yet.

I decided then that I would never become a slave to corporate America as I would never allow a company to simply fire me after giving them 20+ years of loyalty and hard work.

I find business to be all about loyalty.

Brand loyalty among riders is an amazing thing.

It does not cost you any money and your agent will be working solely for you, where the listing agent will be working for both and won't have loyalty to get you the best deal possible or to tell you when the property just isn't a good one or the area isn't good.
