I always try to be fair and reasonable with people, and brokers live off their commissions so they are very important to them,  but I do think it's ok to talk to everyone you want to.If you develop a relationship with a broker some will start to expect that you do not talk to any other brokers, others will not.

No real estate commissions deducted)Option Consideration: $10,000Monthly Rent: $2350Lease term: 24 monthsMy home current market value is $390K (Appreciated 9% over one year)Looking for your opinion on the below:Home current age: 11 years.

So if you bought it for $300K and sold it for $400K, pay off the remaining mortgage, closing costs, realtor's commissions, etc. 

They want to give me 20k in cash to back away from the deal and they also plan to pay both agents their commissions so they don’t miss out on the work they put in.

i.e if you needed money immediately, you can HELOC against the home when the time came that you needed the money, you wouldn't get taxed, you wouldn't pay commissions, closing costs, transfer taxes and you continue to hold onto your asset.Hope that helps, and congrats! 

They do not have the capacity or training to process such investments, and more importantly, a way to earn commissions on real estate. 

In theory, it's a "real estate agent only" subscription-based service that enables real estate brokers to 1) advertise listings, and 2) offer compensation to other agents (for example: the listing broker charges the seller X% commission, and then offers a portion of that commission to a buyer's agent who brings the buyer). 

If you're a commission-focused Realtor, you can quickly see why they got to trash talking FHA.
