There is in most listing agreements a certain period of time after a listing has expired or been cancelled that if you sell your house the agent could receive a commission...although 180 days does seem a little long.

you can't do loans and get a commission without being a registered mortgage broker in new york.

No one on the site is getting any commission for recommending any courses.

this means, that no matter what happens, when the property is sold, they're entitled to a commission for helping to sell the property.

You have a definite advantage when you have the MLS system but even then, agents are buying off of those postings and can reduce the price by their commission.

Flipping looks a lot like bringing a buyer and seller together for a commission.

This will keep your commissions comming while you are in doors waiting for the weather to change.

Two areas you need to factor in that have not been mentioned are:- Lending realities (70-75 ARV loans are available, but 65 ARV is offered in more abundance)- Exit Strategy (you need to back out liquidation costs [seller commissions] and capital gains from your gross ROI calculations).Regards,Scott Miller

Figure AT LEAST 6% selling costs, that's average commission, plus you'll have some associated selling/closing costs.Now you're down to $228K on a cost of $209, minus your negative cash flow and you're probably better off going to Vegas and putting it all on RED.all cash

Has anyone tried one of those "skip the realtor" sites, to avoid commission?
