We didn't pay the commission, the seller did, but we feel like that could have been a negotiating point for us if we had an agent willing to do the "formalities" for a lesser commission when we found the property.  

It was listed at 88k and I knew it would go into a bidding war.It's a 4 bed, 2 bath on a huge plot of land, right on the border, next to the very, very expensive area.Now to the part about getting lucky.

Deliver formal written notices after a verbal warning.

Hi there everyone, i am Toronto Ontario, very new to this great and amazing web site BP just wondering if someone knows a lawyer and an accountant in BP community or other web site who is experience in cross border accounting, taxation and setting up entities for Canadian to buy US properties. 

Conceivably, these siblings would either list and sell the asset to your investor (for which you receive commission #1) or you bring in a developer/syndicator.In the second scenario, siblings would partner up and contribute their equity into the formal or informal partnership and the developer/syndicator would bring experience (successful track record), and other resources including builders, design architects, engineers, and entitlement experts for zoning and building approval, depending in the scale of the project.A third choice exists whereby siblings attempt development themselves.

First, we're in the process of formalizing our business (more-so than it has been) and as part of that, we've gone through entity setup in the states where we operate (North Carolina and New York) and as part of that, had a desire to move ownership of our properties over to the commercial entities, the right way (eg; a commercial loan, not just transferring ownership and crossing our fingers). 

Hi all,I guess this is my formal introduction... 

There are law firms that specialize in cross border legal and tax matters. 

For such a partner to have decision making authority in your contracting and conducting business you need a formal business partner relationship.

Then I can pay the township construction officer to do a formal inspection of the house to get a detailed list of exactly what needs to be done and then hopefully negotiate with him to have a grace period or a reduction in the fine to address them after the closing date.
