There may be anywhere from two to 12 transactions on your property per year.

My contractor brought me a deal (which requires work on the house which I would of course have him do despite him not being the most cost effective bid) and I had mentioned to him previously that I pay a finders fee.

Glad plugins are common, but I don't feel that they are as effective as paint and bleach.

We have also purchased the house without a realtor and selling with a flat fee broker so I handle most the transaction calls/paperwork.

Effectively, I run away from markets where alternative housing options (owning or renting stick built homes or renting an apartment) are the same cost or moderately more expensive than mobile home options.  

I believe your talking about two different transactions. 

Thank you Samuel, and that is correct, by exposing the view I created a lot more interest and value for potential buyers, I’m not sure what effect it had on the appraisal.

All,I am new to the sight but I am looking for a resource to find metrics / multiples for comparable transactions on a given property type in a similar area.

We almost lost a chain of 3 residential transactions last week - 3 deals depending on each other to close for funding.

And I know it's a bit vague, but there are so many different ways of approaching appraisals based on thousands of variables that it's hard to effectively answer your question without making it a tad long-winded.
