I'd be willing to bet that I get more repeat business from agents than most people (our average DOM is 17 days and we often get properties under contract before they're listed, just from sending an email to agents who know our product), and the reason is that we treat the agents we like VERY well -- this includes bonuses, holiday cards, bagels/cookies for their office at random times, etc.Bonuses in-and-of themselves won't get your houses sold, but what the bonuses represent -- a great relationship where both sides are taken care of financially -- will definitely get your houses sold.Just my $.02...

The title company treated them totally differently, so trying to guess which ones were a problem and how to clear them without finding out what they needed would have been a waste of my time.
