Broker relationship; fee split on buy side residential trans.

[Adam Ant]

I'm aware that what I'm looking for is frowned on by many agents. It is my personal opinion that on sell side, agents provide a great deal of value. Given the number of times I've been around the block, this is less of a case (for me personally) on the buy side. I run my own comps, I have my own models, etc.

I am unrepresented; I have no existing agent relationship. I'm looking for a CO licensed broker that is happy to work with me on the purchase of a single family property; contract to be submitted Sunday or Monday (Apr 19 or 20). I am not yet under contract to purchase, so there is nothing to rewind. The commission to the buyer's agent on this property will be in the range of $15,000. Since CO law prevents the seller's agent from sharing any of that commission with me, I'm looking to put $7,000 in of that commission in someone's hand, and use the remainder to reinvest into the house. Nothing beyond what your CO license dictates is required: I do all my own comps, inspections, purchase contracts, due diligence tracking and closings. As an alternative to a flat $7,000, I would consider an hourly agreement at $350/hour. I am not interested in other arrangements.

Please excuse my forward request - I mean no disrespect to anyone working in the industry. At the end of the day this is a numbers game for me; this time around, I need to reclaim a bit under $10k in value to make my model work, so am seeking someone willing to try out this arrangement, make a little money, and perhaps start growing a relationship. This will be my only purchase in 2020, but will likely have a sale in 2021 (pushed a year out, for obvious reasons..)

Thanks,
