We'd have been happy with $13.00 and not paying commission, but if they want us to boost our numbers and building value, we can accommodate that

As for drilling into the ground to accommodate the raised bathroom, it may be worth exploring despite the added cost.

I wouldn't necessarily say that this shift is here to stay, but we definitely have to make some changes to our acquisition process to accommodate creative deals and novations.This shift is due to the saturation of the major markets, resulting in newcomers in the business offering too much for properties and not delivering on those promises, realtors promising too much for listings only to have them heavily decreased or canceled six months later, and the small increase in supply that we have experienced since the beginning of the year.But yes!
