I think it's good to pay someone well either salary , hourly and then incentivize lease bonuses.

I am so glad I found this forum where there is so much useful info and generous people sharing their knowledge and experience without sales pitches.

If they want one, the buyer will simply ask for it .Instead, save your money and put a $1000 buyer agent bonus for a "full price offer and 30 day close".

Ask for a reasonable price and for that bonus instead of higher number.  

My daughter is a financial analyst for Intel ... with her company there is only a 10% bonus to work in Santa Clara were she started out.whereas they have a beautiful 3k sq ft home that would cost 1/3 of the price of a 900 sq ft 3 and 1 anywhere within 30 minutes drive of Intel Santa clara.. and if it was over in the Palo Alto area it would be 6 to 7 times as much..

The very important bonus involved in attending sessions is that one can often meet other attendees or the speakers themselves who one may be able to do future business with.

The bonus they do though is internally register the mortgage for a higher value than the original appraisal but hold back the extra funds.  

They're sisters so Rebecca wants to be generous. 

Also, due to the reasonable compensation rules for S Corp's, I've decided to only pay a year-end net zero bonus, made up of only federal and state withholding, SE taxes and possibility 401k contributions, so it covers each shareholder's total pass-through tax liability and avoids the need to pay monthly paychecks or quarterly tax estimates at the individual return level.Based on the above facts, am I missing any tax saving strategies?

As an added bonus, it involves family!
