Generally speaking it is difficult to make money paying retail as the return usually isn't there...

Those who do want to sell are looking for close to retail.

Some states they just call licensees brokers.The key is not whether a broker or agent but their experience level and are they also an investor.For example with my clients on commercial retail properties as a principal broker I can view from a land development angle, owner investor, and a broker.A broker or agent who hasn't done land development or is not an investor themselves can sometimes have a one dimensional view of things as a broker or agent.

I have been able to list investors homes for sale and make commissions, I have also done some normal retail buyer and seller transactions. 

Also, I'm not one to put my resume out there, but I owned a pretty substantial rental portfolio up until a year or 2 ago when I decided to split with a partner and sell most of what I owned individually to get bigger into the retail market.

I am planning to sell a contiguous group of commercial properties consisting of retail, office, residential and land in an urban setting.

Based on my google search, specialty property type is any property that's not an office, retail or industrial. 

Oh well.I agree that support has not been able to keep pace with the growth of the company.
