Sounds like a solid plan.Value to the buyer: provide straight forward numbers/pictures, full transparency, easy to work with, hassle free to work with you, responsive, knowing your numbers, knowing your buyer's numbers, networker, etc.Value to the seller: this is a bit tougher - but basically LISTEN to what their needs are so you can negotiate effectively, do what you say you are going to do, be responsive, know how to build rapport, know your numbers, and be transparent.
