However, her pay typically comes from the proceeds at closing.

The problem with me being handy is that almost all repairs seem pretty easy to me which is why I'm willing to make the repairs myself for a smaller concession from the seller than a typical buyer that has to hire everything out.

For instance in my local market, Ryan Homes is just typically not going to budge at all, while Pulte has some developments that Ive gotten pretty large sums from. 

I was leasing properties on commission as a PM company employee in Philadelphia 5 years ago and one tenant had a new crated puppy set up on a laptop webcam.
