They often will do things at cost or occasionally actually lose on a project for the recognition.

All brokerages have pros and cons - tech, splits, resources, name/location recognition etc.

It is really different than the traditional entrepreneurial financial freedom mindset, which accepts wealth as a recognition of accomplishment and welcomes a higher standard of living as a reward.

@Paul Kienetz, with the 1031 exchange there is no recognition of gain. 

Real Estate One is a bigger company in the Metro Detroit area so I’m thinking that they have more name recognition when it comes to securing listings and buyers.

I pay as well as anyone around (and if you don't you will lose people) but people choose a brokerage based on brand recognition, the brokers reputation and then pay - so you need to be a producer as well.

So - 1) nice cabinets (not custom made, but Lowes Diamond brand or similar). 2) Nice counters, quartz, not granite. 3) Step up a notch in brand recognition for the appliances, maybe LG or Bosch or whatever is considered 'cool' in your area?
