They strong arm as it's all about the dollar.For residential homebuyers and sellers a REALTOR might have a perception of greater value to them because of ethics.

Hi fellow investors,My properties are having a lot of repair charges and i am suspecting my PM is not ethical.

Keep in mind you will have additional ethics requirements for both licenses, and you must comply with both. 

That is not the case, legally or ethically, real property is one of the functions of our economic system, cars, boots, software, or dishes are not.

We are transparent and practice the highest degree of ethics.

Our Realtor Code Of Ethics (article 16) prohibit us from  soliciting properties that are already listed.Hence, a Flat Fee MLS listing service Brokerage will give the best of both worlds ... dramatic savings on commissions and you control your deal (showings, negotiation, coordination, etc) ... you are saving the Listing Agents side of the commission (you will be doing that work your self).Direct FSBO with no MLS exposure do not work.
