Say there is little equity with a pretty house.If you could offer the seller full sales price and avoid a sales commission on a LO, is that an idea?

For example the listing broker might do a low BPO value before listing to sell it fast whereas the broker getting paid 50 to 100 bucks to do a report can be objective about the value of the property because they are not make a commission off of the sale like the listing broker will be.

I also worry his RE agent, who has marketed this property for 8 months, may warn against it, as I imagine she would rather short sell and get her commission.

The broker may charge for any/all of the following:- Desk fees (monthly fees for being part of the brokerage, having access to the office, etc)- Commission fees (brokerage may take a percentage of each commission or a fixed amount per transaction)- MLS fees (to get access to the MLS)- E&O fees (this is your broker's insurance against you screwing up a deal)- NAR fees (to be a member of NAR)- Cost of tools (like lockboxes, electronic keys, etc)- Etc...Some brokers charge high monthly fees and a significant percentage of your commission; in return you get a big brand name to associate yourself with (Re/Max, Keller Williams, etc).

I'd like to hear what the insurance commission had to say about it.

The seller on all of the properties....Some city Commission (forget the exact name) I looked it up; the guidelines were all OO and down payment assistance for people that couldn't normally qualify for a mortgage.Anyway point is it's prob 25K because your taxes might have helped pay for it to be built and sold at that price.

And its a commissioned sales job, so you have to be able to sell and close the deal.3.

Advantages: Knowing about market changes immediately, paying half a commission on sales, earning a commission when buying, looking up expired listings of the home before attending an auction, control of how your houses look on the MLS, looking at properties on your timetable, not your agent's.Disadvantages: Attending required continuing education classes (some are actually useful though).
