A buyer's agent can not adjust the commission since it's part of the listing agreement between the seller and the listing agent.

By forewarning them you give them time to prepare and adjust to you as the new owner and the increase in rent they will have for the pet.  

Adjust in 3%-5% increments, anything less is meaningless to the buyers.

If it turns out another price adjustment seems justified, being at $250K or a hair under will put you in the search parameters of a lot more people because they tend to search in 25K and 50K increments.- Before trying that, if you have the time, you could try this, which may sound gimmicky but I have found it to be very helpful: Get the cloudy skies in your photos replaced with realistic blue skies. 

Besides, it'll take you 4 weeks to get a return call from a Fed agencyI've gotten much faster results than that in the past, plus just mentioning to the non compliant party that you've contacted the SEC often gets an automatic attitude adjustment and willingness to take steps to begin seriously addressing your issue from the other side.

.*$250k in gains tax*Hotel with 100+ keys right now  in the economy brands around $40k/key = $4MMIf the values adjust by 10% that's atleast a $400k reduction.The way I am seeing it is pay $250k now, save $400k later (NET $150k+ gain)Investment safer at a later time since we can see how everything stabilizes after the elections.I'm stuck!

These discussions would be less about personal finance and more about your path to financial & time freedom and lifestyle adjustment.

My plans change, my real estate strategy changes and I prefer to have the debt of my investments on something i can adjust or pay off quickly versus be locked into a cash-out refi long term mortgage payment.Having cash from a cash-out refinance can be good, but don't kid yourself, the bank is still making all that newly added interest on the new loan amount.

If I want to use it as a comp, how should I adjust the price to make it more comparable to this one?

I used to love being on the go at all times, so it took some adjusting at the beginning of quarantine.
