What has your experience been working with brokers? In what way do you think brokers can be more helpful and improve their services? What do you look for when working with a broker? What do you value the most about a broker?
It'd be great to listen to your feedback and experiences.

Most brokers don't have enough experience in an industry to help set realistic price expectations for sellers. Most investors I know say roughly 20% of brokers know their stuff for that specific transaction. I think the best deals are those which just involve you and the owner so you can properly understand the sellers motives for leaving and find a mutually beneficial way to do a deal
