We work primarily with investors who do a certain amount of volume or do not have the time/ desire to babysit.

A lot of costs are fixed while some vary by volume like square foot.  

I am also looking into Realeflow, i've heard good things about it from another local investor who does some volume.

I’ve now been a part of the Featured Agent Program as an agent in both Nashville, TN and just outside of Los Angeles, CA, and can attribute over $15 million in sales volume from the leads in just over 18 months.
