This is a typical supply/demand phenomenon, but it also is generally a function of their prowess in being able to market the opportunity properly and thus have the right conversations with suitable investors in sufficient quantity.  

Quote from @Joe Villeneuve: I agree with Joe.I would be brave enough to have a hard conversation with your agent.

You have to have a conversation with your clients about price, you are either priced to sell or priced for patience.

@Turner Wrightjust a couple questions for you to think about...1 - you may be rock solid on this already, but do local laws allow for both the conversion and the room-sharing?

One of the things I hate about reading some of these posts, is it is hard to tell the tone of the conversation.  

If you’re interested in learning more about becoming a featured agent or know someone who’s interested, just send me a message and we can start a conversation to see if it would be a fit for you.

I’m not here to push anything but this is a conversation I love to have and if you want to contact me directly please feel free to send a message or look me up.

These are just a few common conversation topics that you'll have with investors in or out of state.

ultimately, if it’s high I’d say it’s worth having a conversation with the PM.

Conversely, you will run into people on your list that just seem to be a waste of time, so you’ll want to avoid them.
