We were told early on that Bildwise’s preferred form of communication was the messaging function in their web-based client portal.

Or, you mean all the "other PM functions?"

I am exploring the possibility of not only fixing things but doing a renovation to bring an old half bath into a fully functional bath, renovate the entrance and foyer among other things and possibly even an addition to the house.

There is "delayed financing" options where you can do this but its usually not same-day.However, what you are looking for is probably a hard money lender that does not require appraisals - this allows quick closes and functionally the same as cash offers (and pretty much what you appear to be looking for)

But everyone basically signed those agreements late into the search right before an offer was made, and because the seller almost always paid, it wasn’t the traditional negotiation you’d have upfront with a seller, 2ndly while I do think this is a net win for the consumer, the idea that the doj “solved a problem that didn’t exist” 1st of all it wasn’t doj it was a jury in Missouri 2ndly the issue is regardless of impact on consumer’s they were almost certainly violating anti-trust law which is illegal lol, the publishing of commissions and the fact that something like 98% of all agents were paid between 2.5-3% was textbook, imagine if the price for a ritz and a motel 6 we’re basically the same, you’d think collusion right?
