Hi, @Crystal Johnson.

Welcome to BiggerPockets!

I would love to learn more about your investor representation business.  What's the best way to contact you?

Thanks so much.

Hi, @George Chang.

Those services and fees seem very reasonable to me.

Best of luck to you!

Hello, @Michael Mcghee.

Below are 3 commercial agents in Memphis that we have worked closely with (sorry if the formatting is off).

Hopefully, one of them could help you.

@Michael Smith,

Yes, I believe 10 is the magic number to see insurance reductions.

Below are a couple of agents we work closely with.

Another option is to add your 3 properties to your homeowner's policy.

Hope something works out.

Hi, @Frank Casi.

I'm sorry the turnkey providers aren't working out for you. Perhaps you should look into an alternative to the turnkey model.

Thanks,

Hello, @Michael Smith.

I've got several agents I can recommend.  How many properties are in your portfolio (if you've got 10+ I'll send you some commercial agents instead of personal agents)?

Thanks,

Hi, @David Mavity.

Here's an attorney that we have used in Little Rock for real estate needs.  He personally owns rental property, which is a plus in my book.

Hi, @Ali Boone.

You make a lot of valid points, but I want to challenge you on this one, "I've never heard of someone wanting to move to Memphis (speaks to desirability)."

I grew up in the Park Cities in Dallas, went to college at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, worked in New York City for a few years, and then gladly moved to Memphis 13 years ago.

I think it's a great place to invest and an even better place to call home!

I would love to take you and @Joe Bertolino to Cozy Corner BBQ next time you're in town!
