If you dont have written quotes from reputable contractors for every part, you could easily be off.

@John Stanczak - I have met Jillian Soditi a few times, she had a great reputation wrt RE Syndications. 

If not, next best choice IMO is a listing agent who uses a very experienced, reputable short sale negotiator.

The overall opinion I hear about gripes with cleaners are -Not timely, which is crucial on doubleheader turnaround days.Difficult to communicate with, and I speak Spanish as well but still struggled to get timely responses when I needed.Bad reputation for theft ( I have never experienced this)Bad reputation for Language Barrier ( Again, I have not personally experienced this)Interested to see if anyone has any unique input and possibly any suggestions.

I do recall though that if a property has a legal listing agreement and buyer comes in at list price and seller terms that the agent has earned their fee.. this could be old school my days of selling real estate 30 to 40 years ago.. but I seem to recall that.. so thats different than what a seller can do with the listing price.. keep in mind with lumber doing what its doing for me who is activily building I have been raising prices almost weekly for some models of homes  One day it was 550k the next day it was 575k  then a week later I raised it to 600k and sold it at 600k.. the agents can look at listing history and they will ask and we just tell them  whats happening in the lumber markets and the supply chains like pipe is going to go up  anything plastic  roofing material is going up etc etc. 

It’s a reputable, 100 year old company and they did a good job. 

I can definitely introduce you to a few  reputable whole salers, but everytime I connect a hopeful wholesaler they just tell them to go read books and  joing certain groups.
