As I continually ponder this business model it occurred to me that what I really do is "activity based pricing" of real estate services. This is a much better description of what I do and what my clients love. Fee schedules are out. Activity based pricing is in! Look at my spreadsheet in the document library (in the fee schedules category).
I described "activity based costing" in this article I wrote almost a year ago. Now I have a new way to present my fees: Activity Based Pricing. What better way to say it?
