In separate forums, I’ve posted a couple of questions lately about online real estate brokerages and online doc filing sites (for filing LLCs and corps).

As an agent submitting your own offer, can you leave out the commission and agency/brokerage so that the Listing Agent takes all the commission?

If the seller defaults on that contract you have a legal right to sue and/or place a lien on the property (depending on your state laws) for specific performance and/or damages.Technically you have an equity stake in that property with a valid contract or option to purchase it, so by marketing/reselling your own interest in a property you are not performing any type of brokerage or agency.

Don't forget that the agent's FIRST loyalty is to the commission, second to the brokerage, third to the contract, and finally, to you.

Running a RE brokerage can be deceivingly complex.

If I don't have one you need, I work in an office/brokerage that has 140 Realtors.

I live in Racine County, Wisconsin and own investment property in the City of Racine, however I run/own/manage a discount residential brokerage and the bulk of my business brings me into Milwaukee.

I also assume that local housing price trends, area growth, and rental price trends could be acquired by hitting up local R/E brokerages.

-based brokerage Michael Saunders and Co.

Mississauga has a Brokerage that charges a very low administration yearly fee of about 150.00 and thats it.
