Then you are essentially bribing the agent to participate in your scheme under the threat of losing their commission?

Essentially you run plastic pipe back and forth on the ceiling and cover it with 3/8 drywall.

What kinds of things are "essential" and how much is enough?

What info is essential?

While not a real estate agent, what I have seen is many people that go to open houses are essentially window shopping and do not really know what they want.

Therefore, I would think that's kind of iffy in the eyes of the commission because essentially signing something like that would be really close to being an unlicensed agent.So I think I'll stick with my standard purchase and sale contracts.

IRS Form 1065 (Partnership Tax Return) was amended in 2008 and the tax return essentially asks if you have done either a swap and drop or drop and swap during the last two tax years.

Which is essential when you are making offers.Now when it comes to saving you money, having a realtor to pull your comps means you don't have to spend money on paid comp services i.e Realquest or Sitexdata.

This is essentially my plan as well.

:) @Michael MasonBryan does have a point that lots of people waste lots of time on these kids of non essential activities when they are getting started.However WHY do you think you need an executive summary.
