So I feel a little urgency along with my excitement about finding a good brokerage/broker to shepherd me along, allow mls access, get 100 new colleagues, and facilitate me collecting some commissions.

If you are facilitating the sale of real estate for compensation based on that transaction, who does that?

Hi Duncan I believe that the focus of what your are looking for would be facilitated by a relational model.

Many agents have agreements with their brokers that if it's not an MLS sale and no other company is involved the agent can be paid as consultant or transaction facilitator.

The objective of the revision is to enable HUD to promote and facilitate the restoration and preservation of the Nation's existing housing stock.

A couple of questions.....1) Do I state up front that I am simply facilitating the transaction for the seller?

Should you be interested in attempting this again, I have access to investor funds to facilitate a cash offer on short sales.

It would be a huge help to members if bigger pockets could somehow facilitate getting the mortgagor and mortgagee together.

In this way they are declaring to BOTH sides of the transaction that they no longer offer any side loyalty, but have become a facilitator of the transaction - to move it along when one side had no representation, but obviously, needs help in order for the transaction to move along.

I hope I can keep bringing questions that facilitate discussion and one day be able to answer some questions for others.
