sd, I applaud your business model and think you may be on to something big. The internet has allowed buyers to refine their search and many question the need for a full service buyers agent that drives them around, sprinkle in the knuckleheads that crowded your profession and it makes the discerning buyer want to go it alone (which is a bad idea in 90% of the scenarios). I know that i have at least a dozen loyal lurker readers and i’d encourage them to contact you or other longtime piggie realtors who have proven their knowledge over the years. Most piggies should have their deals negotiated for them by someone like yourself and you should be compensated for that service. The service some people require doesn’t fall into the old model and it will be guys like you that end up with the mai tais because you can see it before the rest.
