@Matthew PaulWe have moved to small jobs only...8k-10k and under...I turn down full renovations and rooms additions almost daily...never again will I do a 30 or 60 day project...

Then if you are doing a big volume or decide you have a large sphere of influence you can tap for clients, maybe it makes sense. 

Not all brokers are equal...Generally, license renewal and continuing education must be maintained regardless of sales volume.

I get a lot of volume and yes many of them don't qualify, but it only takes one good one to sign a lease with.

They will focus on volume, not quality.Stop with the shortcuts.

It seems she was in the "small family" category as the technicians never saw evidence of anything near the volume she was reporting.I did learn the Teriminix $800 house sealing treatment can be had for much less if you get the Home Depot squirt gun and caulk-like sealer, then patiently explore every crack in your foundation. 

Just like it is hard to buy one at a time, it is hard to sell one at a time in that volume. 

@Nikki Nakamoto I live in Avondale and I look daily in MH and LS, its a hot area, well because there is a LOT coming to the areas.
