Offers, deals, and buyers procured during your listing will result in your having to pay commissions to your LA anyway.I always try FSBO first, then exclude from a future listing any buyers I procurred.

The only 'law' is that the seller has to pay their listing agent's commission regardless of who procures the buyer.

The buyer's agent is entitled to that fee if they are the procuring cause.

We go after a series of smaller revolving lines for our clients and thereby rack up results that are typically 3 to 5 times what a borrower can procure for themselves.

As an alternative, would you use these funds to procure an additional property that cash flows to start growing my personal portfolio which is my goal.
