there are realtors that will steer away from showing properties that have lower commissions there is one who post on BP that admitted he did that and he got skewered by more than me... its a terrible practice.4. with the internet the client does all the leg work before they usually even contact a broker. they have already figured out where the best schools are,  what the crime is, how they are going to get to work.. the buyers then look at all the listings on line narrow down what they want to see then go shopping.. the day of the broker providing all this info is almost done unless you have a very un savvy client who does not know how to do google searches.

This includes direct labor as well as indirect labor, such as time spent shopping for materials or time spent maintaining the property once it is for sale.

If so, probably time to shop putting your own in, and get it over with.
