Now EML is handing out full interiors for $45?

I'd like to know what agent around here is driving from Lutz to Spring Hill to Palm Harbor doing interiors for $40-$50? I didn't do that even when I first started :rolleyes:

No way! Full interiors? It's got to be a mistake!

I had a couple interior requests from them today and they were the usual $70/80 fee.

I hope it was a mistake. I put for reason "$45 fee is too low for full interior inspection". I haven't been contacted otherwise.

$45 is too low for a driveby.

You know, I'm getting sick of these reduced fees!! How is Source One/FAARV still in business anyway? Oh, they outsource overseas, I forgot! We have to draw the line somewhere!! Where does it end??!!!

Risingrealtor, I agree. I am on the list for FAARV and Source One but I never accept anything from them. I hope EML isn't headed in that direction. I think the reason so many agents like them is that they treat you like a professional and are fair and reasonable.

I don't mind doing $45-$50 exteriors since they are all right around here. Plus EML seems to be pretty consistant with that $10 bonus for early completion.

I received one (interior) from EML yesterday for $80, due 07/10.

Whenever I get an order that is too low for me to consider, I make sure I refuse it and if their site doesn't let me say why, I will email the rep with the order number and explain that their fees are too low. Once in awhile I get a call offering the order at acceptable fees, but most of the time they probably find someone whose time isn't worth much to accept it. That's fine. The companies that value me enough to pay a decent fee keep me busy enough, and get a better product for their money. If the trend is for eveyone to keep lowering their fees, then they will see the best agents dropping out and have to deal with what they get from the leftovers...
