Here is how you do it. put a fat bonus for agents who sell two or three or more properties as a package, and make sure you do not post that info on the Remark Section of the MLS  that everyone sees it.

I am a buy and hold guy of 13 units (SFRs, condos, duplex, ADUs), with fat equity given when I bought, and think I have wrung out all of the value-ad plays that can be done in this SD market (or maybe not?). 

I think it is very unprofessional for one contractor to badmouth another and that guy is a big fat jerk for doing so!!  

Unless you can lock the business into a long term lease, it could disappear tomorrow if the business goes belly up.

The fat cash flow I have enjoyed for 12 years.

Would they not be the first to go belly up if we have another recession?

Nice fat check at closing.

There's a chance the whole thing will go belly up, but you should get back your earnest money if you stick with all your timelines.

And, don't forget the new people they hire will start with a much lower total compensation package and when the time comes, they will let go those people that started with a fat Bay Area salary.I don't disagree with you that a lot people will move out of Bay Area, but at end of day, people like SF Bay Area/New York, they will always be the hubs of the world at least in next 50 years.

Thought the definition of off market was belly to belly with the seller.
