Sales/Listing - baseline should be a percentage of expected income. 3 - if you mean "service level" as my performance for my clients - my monetary cost or gain doesn't affect my client service. In my opinion, that is the key to career longevity and reputation, not to mention core in my moral fortitude. 4 - Hmm...initial costs maybe. If the market is moving and my listing is conceivably going to move fast, I may wait 7-10 and ride the free ad venues (web marketing, MLS, office circulation, word of mouth) before I venture into paid advertising. 5 - price of gas :) Just some initial thoughts.
