You can find a broker to work under that charges you a flat fee per listing/ sale, instead of a percentage. to save money. 

And then are also baking the next owner occupied capital gains...

The only reason we asked for time to do an inspection was due to a strong recommendation from a realtor in my moms office (she's my agent and this is her first deal as well), based on the fact that the seller flat out said due diligence doesn't apply.

I live in San Diego, so I need an agent who is responsive, trustworthy and willing to work probably harder than he/she should have to - and Joel has fulfilled all of my expectations (and then some...I'm not sure if you saw my previous post from August, where he changed the flat tire on my rental car!).

Apparently many real estate firms block flat fee listings from feeding to their customer’s automatic search results.

I wiped down the walls with a vinegar/water solution, sprinkled baking soda and vacuumed 3 times and purchased an Ozone machine from Amazon and ran it for 24 hours.

I personally did a 10% flat return on the money they invested.

@John Warren We own three two flats in Lyons (close to your area) as well as a 4-unit building in Lombard. 

One flat tire, one sick kid, one broken leg.

I'm turning around to the community for help, does anyone have any recommended companies they would suggest that offer the realtor.ca listing service for a flat fee, no commission?
