If so, do you offer the agent a certain fee if they pull comps for you on the homes or do you have them become the "buyer's agent" and structure the deal so they pick up their commission from your seller?

If you sell it through normal channels, with RE commissions, you get $198K after all sales closing costs.

He recently told me that his commission starts at a minimum of 4%.

I just got an idea... how about all the politicians get paid on commission.

You can also contact the Louisiana Real Estate Commission for information on the official rules, regulations and laws.

I went before the city commission meeting and explained that I think it is unfair and completely unlawful to put laws such as this onto specific members of the community.

If I were to use a seller's agent on the 2nd property I mentioned, using the following numbers: $130,000 x 3.4% seller commission= $4,420 fee. $12,000 profit- $4,420 fee would still leave me a little profit.

Jon, section 15 of the standard Texas Real Estate Commission contract has 'specific performance' in there.

I need them for their money and maintenance ability (they will take care of all maintenance) and one is a realator so commissions go back into the company.

I'd like to go via mls, but the commission will just eat away profit.
