We have an agent on our team that has been aces for us.

I am an agent and investor in the area and help a lot of House hackers like yourself.

I finally sell the property for $250,000 and I end up paying $15,000 for closing cost and agents commissions. 1.

From time to time, I need to hire an outside agent to help fill some of the turn overs. 

How much are the average closing costs (including agent service fee, closing fee, premium etc.)?

I know the horror stories.If you are working with an agent that advises otherwise, you need to find another Realtor.

After working with a lot of lenders over the years, the most important thing for me is their level of customer service (will they provide a lender letter promptly for you when you need to write an offer quickly, call the listing agent to help you get your offer accepted, pick up their phone for you, etc.) and do they close on time?

I’m an investors agent and STRs were about half of my business last year.

My wife doesn't work but doesn't have a real estate agent license.

Micheal offers a perfect example of what I speak of how the "agents" with the nice websites and quick 24 hour financing are all basically fronts for scam artists in Armani suits.
