I used to ask the customer to provide me with a SOW.

However, I'd recommend discussing this with a knowledgeable mortgage broker to confirm the specfic terms based on your lender's guidelines.I once worked with a client who had a similar idea in San Diego.

If you honestly believe they may not have presented your offer, contact the agent's broker.

When deciding between them, look for flexible memberships, no high-volume minimum, and customer service to help walk you through the process.

Hi @Sean Leahy - good direction, I've never considered this but now that I think about, whenever I've had some random rental/sale listings I've been approached by brokers who said they represent folks that are part of the insurance company's claim management process (e.g. their house burnt down due to an accident). 

For a partnership where you're providing all labor and the broker is funding the deal, a fair split typically ranges from 30-50% for you and 50-70% for the broker, depending on the value and complexity of your labor versus the financial risk they're taking.

I'm currently waiting for a response from customer support.

No matter which path you take in real estate, surrounding yourself with professionals from different fields—contractors, lenders, brokers, investors.

You may also have to pay a broker to rent it, when usually the tenants cover that during peak rental season (May-July for 9/1 leases).Good thing is once it's rented you should almost never have vacancy if you're mindful of re-listing it in a timely fashion.

Most service or trades people us included increase the rates for customers we don’t want.
