but Richard, $50k for 3 weeks part time work for 2 agents? Come on.
For $50k, I would expect 4 dedicated people for 3 weeks.

I think a sliding scale is still suitable. The higher they get the more they get.
1% is more aligned. $14k to sell my house ($1.4m), for 3 weeks work.

Anyone got a good solution in a Kitchen for where an old wood fire oven goes? I am trying to replace the kitchen, but not sure who I should fill in where the old oven once went. The current hole is about 1.6m high, not high enough for a fridge.
