It's all perception.The value I have is cultivating my network over the years.I have a targeted audience to sell my clients commercial listings.If they want to play "let's discount commission" I simply tell them I don't do that.The value is getting the property out to the players that are not agents in the MLS.That buyer broker/agent that contacts you may or may not have qualified that purchaser properly.I spend a lot of time on my list separating pretenders from the real thing.If you didn't spell out as the seller what you wanted in the beginning and made it crystal clear in writing then in my view you don't have a beef that is valid.Of course the investor agent is going to push his properties harder and do extra to sell them.The payoff is much larger versus another investor expecting the world for a nominal fee.Some may not like me because I won't work for peanuts and my time is valuable.One thing that I won't be mistaken for is misleading someone when taking a listing.Communication is key to any facet of real estate investing yet many fall short and it leads to problems.I find with contractors,attorneys,etc.

However, the by-product of this is they will need a near par sales price in order to get it done.HAFA is good for retail buyers not for investors.I suggest you find some answers to these questions before you go and waste your time putting an offer in place.

This is one of my big beefs with claiming the 50% guideline is accurate for longer-term projects.
