As a result, I received early notice he was looking to sell.

Which they move out when they sell to you. 

So selling for a capital gain salvages what would have been a disappointing experience. 

I think in other words telling agents if you want to get paid to sell this particular listing your client has to pay you.

They're likely selling a course or have an external motive.

I have a 2bd 2 ba vacation rental worth of furniture supplies, living room, kitchen, laundry room everything you would need turn key for a airbnb or VRBO where is a good site to sell it all in one and not dirt cheap? 

Difficulty Selling Properties to Free Market again, NOT correct. most investors want sec 8 tenants in.

I'm heavily invested in the RTP, so take that for what it's worth but I got nothing to sell you.

But then I think about other alternative assets like art or gold... you must hire a broker to sell your asset? 

Doesn't seem worth it to buy and sell after a few years but I also don't know if it would be worth it to hang on to..
