@Eric F. may have something for you Kathy..

@Alexander Felice

No worries...I'll be running late as well but we have folks come and go throughout the evening so it's no big deal at all.

@Jesse Mistretta

We have them the last Thursday of every month with the exception of the holidays.

@Jesse Mistretta

This event doesn't have guest speakers or presentations. It's an opportunity to get from behind the screen and talk shop with some of the folks who are members of the site. 

@Uriah D. It ain't easy being a real estate magnate and trying to attend networking events!

@Candace Berry

Regarding the commission question, the lowest I've seen personally was 2%. It didn't deter me one bit from showing the property to my buyer. On a property in that price point of your listing, it's going to take some outside-the-box thinking and marketing to attract more buyers. I think we spoke about this at the last meetup, but that $800k price point just has a limited buyer pool in this area.

It may be worthwhile to talk to your listing agent about marketing the place in some unconventional ways, and also market it in areas outside of the Triangle such as Boston, San Fran, etc. In other words, places where people are moving from to relocate here and also places where they won't get sticker shock at an $800k price tag. Just my .02!

@Justin Reed Welcome to BP, and soon to be NC! As Dawn mentioned, we have a meetup at the end of every month where you can get from behind the screen and get face-to-face with some of the local people you interact with on this site. You're always welcome to attend and bring whomever you'd like.

Whenever you come to the area, please reach out and I'll gladly connect you with a CPA I know who does a lot with real estate investors.
