No loyalty.

Up to this point, I haven't heavily pursued additional investor business because of a possibly ill-fated sense of loyalty. 

I know I could get a better rate elsewhere, but loyalty has me leaning toward working with her, trying to negotiate a 10 year, 5.75% interest rate.

the listing agent's loyalty is toward the seller and never will be to you.

Develop your own team that will not have divided loyalties if you were to leave the brokerage.Don't get me wrong, ReMax is a quality company however if you decide to leave you don't want the office to be fielding calls from your clients (same with emails!)

I just wouldn’t bet that it will always work, as people’s interests and loyalties sometimes change.

I’m not a huge fan of residential, I feel that there’s no loyalty and too many emotional buyers/sellers.

By your account, they have had multiple agents and seem to be chasing a result rather than operating out of personal loyalty.

With the right person, you will get 10 times more loyalty and dedication when you reciprocate if that makes sense.

For things we outsourced (e.g. granite)  we built a team of connections that provide us with hefty discounts in exchange for loyalty.
