When I first meet her she starts complaining about the cabinets been to outdated and ugly I tell her they are old but they are functional.

I suggest using the "Search the Site" function and exploring previous BP wisdom. 

@Brandon Turner Dang can someone please mention Brandon, my mention function only works if someone has already posted in a thread I'm posting in.  

I have seen some absolutely amazing 300-350 sf apartments in places such as New York, Hong Kong and Tokyo which have the functionality of apartments that are 700 - 900 sf. 

Took about 3 months and we got the price we wanted/even a little more than what realtors we had come by said we could without the ridiculous  7% commission - we didn't get the traffic in terms of serious showings that I thought we would have but I like their search function better than the other FSBO sites (you can search easily by school district) and their pictures were pretty good.  

. - sometimes the quality is a function of the sacrificial anode rod in the heater; the more of a sacrificial anode the longer the tank life, so the better the unit and they charge accordingly. 

Building is cheap and functional, but nothing to write home about.I suppose it's easy to extend those definitions to neighborhoods.By the way, I always stay away from terms like "war zone" when describing neighborhoods.

I've had different rate structures from hourly, a contingency meaning they get work based on an outcome, on a retainer basis, paying so much over time even if you don't use them, per function, like X dollars for a closing and a salary, but I don't think newbies will be having a staff in-house attorney.Even a brand new attorney out of law school and who just passed the Bar exam can probably do any contract in residential settings.

There is obviously more money in NYC, a functional public transit, accessible by foot for the most part.

The real estate agent performs certain functions, but marketing on behalf of a buyer client is generally not one of them.We have clients that we submit many offers for (numbers game investors), but they purchase over 75% of the accepted offers.
