You, as the potential buyer, have no loyalty to the listing agent or to them receiving a commission check, unless it was through their marketing efforts that you found the property.

Lord, not saying everything he was doing was right but talk about loyalty.

You need to look at the LOYALTY factor on the rent roll.

Think about what the market wants and try to buy that product.Look at for tenants what we call the "loyalty factor".

And if you're looking for some type of sales pitch or hook, offer a reduced commission in exchange for the opportunity for being on both sides of the deal and more importantly- their loyalty.

dedication, loyalty to what you are doing, focus, sense of purpose, and understanding of the bigger picture. 

That could turn into one of your best long term relationships as you’ll have their loyalty for years to come.with both crops, look past the fluff and shiny shoes.Make sure crop 1 hasn’t gone stale.

It seems like SO much of the traveling population is geared to specific loyalty programs these days (unless you're talking a real high end property like a 4 Seasons) and I understand that as well as a past business traveler.

They are asking for reductions and commission with back door dealing etc.The brokers/agents quickly learn that buyer is a "wheeler and dealer"  and has no loyalty or is above board and truthful.Do you think a lot of brokers/agents will want to do deals with such a person?

I'm not so sure any of these landlords will return my loyalty either.
