Selling your flip without a real estate agent.

[Robert Ruiz]

I love using a realtor to purchase houses to flip, and have a great relationship with my agent. But when it comes to selling, in our market, I like to do it myself. I am not an agent, but am pretty good at showing my own house etc.
I know the guy I am working with is going to expect me to use him to list the flips when I'm done, so what Is a good way to make everyone happy in this deal? I don't mind paying a 2% for a one time showing. I would also love to get on the mls but don't want to pay 6% to a realtor.
Any suggestions ?

When it comes time to list just tell him you are selling it yourself but you will happily pay him a buyer broker fee if he has a buyer.

Keep in mind, if you are selling the prperty yourself you are doing work. Why not pay an expert to do that work so you can focus on your next deal. If you can sell houses better than an agent then get a job being an agent. If not your time is better spent finding and rehabbing deals.

Another factor to consider is you get agents bringing you the best deals when they know they get the back end sale too.

Good luck - Ned
