Do you have any performance metrics that would influence a commission? 

Not to mention it would give you ten years to crank money into other investments that should further boost your retirement income.  

However, certain factors can influence one area of real estate more than others.

Also it makes a difference is the house is outdated.If it is functional but outdated it will become an expense for the buyer down the road with upgrading to sell to the next buyer.For instance if a home is 1 to 2 years old and you buy you can get away with owning a few years and reselling without pouring a bunch of money into it.If you buy a house that is say 5 to 10 years old and resell in a few years you will most likely have to spend substantial money updating for resale.On the bpo's now they actually make the 3rd party bpo broker/agent (who does not have the listing)sign an electronic from when submitting the report that they have not been influenced nor have they had discussions with any parties relating to the value of the property.The buyers broker,buyer,listing broker,and seller all have an interest to see the sale happen.The BPO person getting paid for a report is just an objective 3rd party.You want to make sure and not overpay for a property.For instance you put in an offer and wait 2 months for acceptance.Meanwhile the market has declined 6% since then and your deal is no longer that great.It's critical to know with a short sale how many mortgages and liens are present.The more to negotiate the more of a long shot of getting approval from all parties and hitting the value needed.

Unfortunately (actually it's fortunate), it's a lot more complicated than that...The President has a very limited ability to enact or even influence policy without the support of the House, the Senate and (to a lesser degree) state and local lawmakers.

***Just to throw in my thought on IE area - Majority of the ASIAN population live in the IRVINE, Diamond Bar, Rowland Heights, IE area and since Ontario Airport will begin direct flights from CHINA/ASIA, I think IE has a big chance to boost in price for housing.

Of course, their sales person tried to upsell me to their Boost advertising product at $7500 for 3 months.
