We bring a card table, folding chairs, extra applications and a copier to copy ID and paycheck stubs.  

If it's a gut job as you say and investors are the most likely buyers, why pay the extra 5% commission to find one?

Just think this way with the extra $8k, you could buy 2 more properties like the one you have.

When you are the sole agent in a transaction, you end up doing work for both sides because there are so many details that have to happen to get to closing.  

I'm also interested and have extra links for NYREIO meetups.

I feel like my buyer got an exceptional deal on this home, mainly because I wanted the security of having it sold and at the earliest possible settlement date.I could easily see how a seller who doesn't care about their reputation would be more likely to cut corners and skip on some small details in this scenario.

PM me and I'll give you the details...

there is extra value to you there.

I am always a bit skeptical with attorneys and real estate, many don't do enough work in real estate to be familiar with all the little details.) 

Was just curious how you guys thought they compared and whether the extra returns of remote REI were worth it.
