Well, I always thought posters were useless but you just changed my mind.

The flat fee route works best when you already have a buyer lined up, not for a full market listing. MLS access is the real key since that's where agents send their clients, and flat fee services often don't get you into the same local agent circles. Plus, most buyers' agents won't push a flat fee listing as hard because they know there's no one on the other end to negotiate with or coordinate showings easily. You also lose out on the pricing strategy advice and staging tips that come from someone who sees your neighborhood every day. For a quick sale in a hot area like Plaza Midwood, having an agent that knows all the local agents personally makes a huge difference. Next time, maybe try a discount broker that still offers full MLS listing and agent support for a lower commission rate.

and I still can't believe my old profile name was "cutiepie_xxjulia". like what was I even thinking with that. also @sandraf84 probably had the same background as mine, those sparkly stars were a real nightmare.

Trade secrets always come out when someone's actually paying attention.

Oh come on, 50 sketches of a trash can lid? That's a bit much, isn't it? I get being bored at 2am but at some point you gotta ask yourself if this is really worth your time. Like is the light hitting those scratches that different each time or are you just avoiding sleep for no reason? Maybe it's just me but I'd probably notice around sketch 10 and go find something else to draw. A plant or a coffee mug would be way more interesting, and you'd get the same light study done in half the time.
