We use Quickbooks to manage some of our internal tasks like expense tracking, invoicing, etc. but Use bench to manage all of the more tedious tasks like bank recs. and tax prep.

Some larger plants along the sidewalk/under the windows and some big potted plants around the entrance would help also!

You can even sweeten the pot by telling them they don't have to clean, and you will hand them their deposit on the day of move-out after a 10-minute inspection to verify there are no damages. 

At the end of the day, all agent commissions (and all other fees for that matter) get taken out of the deal pot, so while it may appear one side is "paying for it", the buyer could get a lower price and the seller could get a higher price, without it.You think you have a deal struck, but in reality you are net at $175k and the seller is at $180k.

You may just be tired of watching the pot boil.
