Realtor asking for a higher commission
Hey everyone. I’m curious to hear your thoughts. I’m in talks with a guy selling his investment property. I would be listing it. The property will go for about 55k tops. Obviously Small price equals small commissions. I’m thinking about asking for a higher commission, around 7-8%. How would you feel if a realtor wanted you to pay a higher commission on a smaller priced property?

I would look for another realtor.
If you wouldn't be happy with the 2.5% - 3% commission, then why list it?
Pass it on to some young, hungry, upstart who needs a listing to jumpstart their career.
