MLS realtor run around crap is a waste of time and perfectly good heartburn.

Yes some superstar high volume flipper on BP might be able to do it cheaper, and you might be able to get individual things done less expensively than the numbers I threw out there. 

Most obvious is just hunt the MLS like crazy --its a volume game.

Those schools can be a tough business as lots of volume needed with students,testings, and selling gear,shirts etc.

They focus on the listing side and volume.

First, the price your paying for with paint is not some arbitrary amount, you are very literally paying for coverage, how much color particulate is in that liquid formulation which directly dictates how much volume will be required to get coverage.

You've been through alot, as I have and you're still hanging in there, that speaks volumes.

@Alex Franks- you probably just completely overwhelmed them with that volume for that store.  

I suggest you find the top volume agents to help you out.

I've found my conversion rates are much higher with smaller more personalized letters granted it's not exactly scalable and way too time consuming, or expensive to outsource, with higher volume mailings.You may want to consider other sources for leads, such as making offers on properties on craigslist or landwatch, or could look for some tax deed properties at tax auctions.
