In the last 12 month we were only able to capture 3 successful referral fees even though we received and forwarded hundreds of leads.

We have been blessed with acquiring multiple properties in the last 5 months (paid cash for them) .

I really needed to be reminded of the point of your last line.  

Legally she can stay till the last minute.. 

Look for comps in the same area with same square footage that have sold in the last 3-6 months.

For example if I wanted to find a house for purchase that fit into the category of X amount of square feet and Y number of bedrooms and Z number of bathrooms based on the homes that had the highest number of sales and\or shortest sales cycle over the last couple years, where might be a good source for info like this?

The last one I looked at was 114 pages.So what I took from that is to look at it from several different angles as in-depth as possible.The appraisal I was looking at was for a 10,000 square foot office property.

Without going into business name or field, The underlying tenant,'s business is a a private corporation that has about 40 locations (each in a separate LLC) across the US and have been expanding over the last several years.  

QUESTION #2: Everyone I listen to or talk to say "sign the closing contract then bring in the buyer like an hour later for the assignment agreement"Because if you sign the closing contract with the seller and the buyer backs out last second, you already signed the closing contract aren't you stuck with the house at that point?  

I've been using the same company for five years, but the last year or so has been a steady downward spiral of bad communication, poor service, and now almost zero effort on rerents of vacant units.
