Well, it's their ball, their court.

I'm ready to exercise it, but need an agent to help with the simple paperwork for a flat fee. 

Everyone wants a crystal ball into the future, especially when it pertains to the housing market.

Never lost a ball yet.

Those are usually hard costs from your contractor, A&E costs, permits, legal, marketing, consultants, but it excludes contingency, financing fees, the dev fee itself and other things that aren't specifically managed by the "developer".Now, for profit splits, it's a different ball game altogether.

I do think you would benefit from the exercise but doubt you will do it.good luck

In many cases, tenants don’t end up exercising the option.

There's a lot of risk lending on new spec construction...particularly to those who have yet to see the curve-balls that the process throws at you.

Most people chase 100 new leads but drop the ball on the 50 they already have.

Be aware however, that the surface CAN be damaged...and the underlying material (usually black) will show through if this happens, so you must exercise SOME care.
