Paying nearly $80k in commissions and this??

Susan Rauch
Posted

I got the seller disclosure package and went to complete it,  through a package called "Glide".  The program helpfully suggested that in order to obtain excellent assistance in filling out the form, that I pay $100 for the "pro" package.  I declined and didn't have much trouble filling out the disclosure.  But my question is this.  If the brokerage (which markets itself as upscale) thinks this is a good program, and its worth $100 for "assistance", why on earth are they asking me to pay $100 when I'm paying nearly $80k in commissions?  I haven't mentioned this to my realtor yet but it really bugged me.

I always go through the disclosures with my Sellers. The problem is Sellers might over disclose, such as "I think it's X" (when you only disclose actual knowledge) or they might under disclose and think something isn't relevant when it is.

I agree with you. If you are working with an agent that claims "high end" and "high level of customer service," then they need to act like it.
