Thanks for your question - Controlling real estate is the highest financial leverage one can ever achieve in real estate - Control & Roll is a system created by me from pure frustration with being a real estate sales person (broker/agent) - I needed to GET OUT OF CONVENTIONAL  real estate - there were too many gate keepers, buyers, sellers, appraisers, underwriters, banks, mortgage brokers and others who didn't care if you made a buck or not, if you helped your client or not, just too many ways to stop a sales from going to settlement ------- I had to find another way to make money in real estate without those regulations stopping me - cutting-off my income and making me crazy -----I wanted a system where I got paid full commission without contingencies, without inspection requirements and a way to sell real estate for all cash without having to mess around with FHA or other loan products or appraisals.So ----- the birth of Control & Roll - simply put C&R is a way of negotiating real estate with a skinny offer subject to a public auction.

It also is a ploy to obtain more of a seller's equity by flipping a contract to a willing and able buyer and in your capacity as a licensee, that transaction may not be considered being in the public good, you are avoiding your agency responsibilities through self dealing.
