Identifying the areas were growth will happen through simple logic  studying infrastructure studying the city county long range planning documents that are usually only looked at by the Trammel Crow's of the world.. and get in front of this. 

I spent a lot of time putting them in logical order so guests could see 2 views of each bedroom, and get a feel for the layout without an actual floor plan. 

I'd wager most of the agents, and lots on here, would consider that same logic and dismiss me. 

Sounds very logical and simple.

I agree with Andrew, technically yes what you're saying makes sense but is it logical for your area?

Trying to keep the logic simple if every house you own you can deduct 3 main categories on your taxes (property taxes, depreciation, mortgage interest) if I paid off a house I would make more with only two primary deductions.  

@Steve K. and @Nathan M kiefer 's logic is sound.

If the overall quantity of commissions is projected to be reduced by 25%+, the most logical place for brokers to save is to renegotiate or locate a better house split.

but also, keep in mind that as much as SF would appeal to buyers, there's really been an uptick in trying to force it down sellers' throats. it's not for everyone. whether we agree with his logic or not, if he doesn't want to SF, he doesn't want to SF. it's a good tool to have in your toolkit, but don't waste energy trying to force it.

I cant say that I disagree with the logic.
