Now I have no problem with loyalty, but this doesn't sound like either a true statement or a good idea if I'm looking at properties from all sources including non MLS.  

Personally, I was very loyal to my agent (even including agent info on online auctions that paid a commission when the agent didn't do any work) and found that my loyalty was rewarded with diligence and hard work...

Ultimately this increases customer happiness, loyalty, and communication.So if you approached me with a need, I'd look at billing an agreed upon fixed price per project.

Loyalty and helping someone hold in a tight situation is always generally paid with referrals and repeat business. 

Build loyalty through transparency, this can be fruitful for many transactions not just one, forge relationships to be able to generate a system of success. 

I'm sure there were bigger fish out there trying to buy her property but we were able to gain the loyalty of the owner and solve her problem.  

I grew up south of Boston towards the Cape, family on Long Island, and have spent some time in Harrisburg, Philly, Phoenix, and northern Texas, picking up loyalties to the Redsox and the Redskins along the way.

However, I think it is important to standardize the definition of Turnkey:*Turnkey = A cash flowing asset, that has been acquired, renovated, tenant placed and vetted and all managed by (1) operator - all service are in house.You do not want to work with a piecemeal operator, they have no skin in the game, the loyalty is very short lived, plus you cannot place actual value on a property that has not been renovated yet, difficult and complex to finance.

Drive through East Memphis from Highland to Kirby through the Walnut Grove/White Station/Walnut Grove corridor, those are your good contractors and they have no desire to work in our space.I will obtaining a license to do work for other individuals next year as I realize the need for trustworthy individuals who will understand their are profits to be made in this space with good work, loyalty, honesty and transparency. 

Once you build up volume and loyalty, hopefully you can bring your commissions you pay out down.
