I have already seen the new forms/addendums that will be used here in Arizona, the common one for this will be the Seller Compensation Addendum.The one thing that might happen in your discount buyer agent scenario is you might get a buyers agent who agrees to a lower commission and then the listing agent is offering a co-broke that is higher than he agreed to, well now that buyers agent will only be able to get paid the lower amount he agreed to and the listing agent will keep the remainder, so listing agents could end up getting paid more.As far as your question on what to pay an agent, I view it similarly to hiring an attorney, there are discount attorney's and they might be okay for some people in some circumstances, or if you know the proper procedures and deadlines then maybe you do it on your own without an attorney.

Usually, the intention is to meet your living costs or even turn a profit by renting out a portion of the home.Depending on your unique financial goals and circumstances, a certain amount of your monthly mortgage payment should be covered.

Ultimately it depends on what you feel is right for your circumstances right now.   

These factors will help you determine which option best fits your needs and circumstances.

What would be the best way to sell under these circumstances?

Not fun at all.I don't know your circumstances but I can tell you that a great agent can make all the difference.

these are facts and circumstance cases.. did the contract have a mandatory mediation then arbitration clause or do you have to go straight to the court system.either way if seller does not cooperate your going to spend some months flushing this out.

They can help you structure your budget and provide more precise estimates based on your specific circumstances.

That benefits them but not you because tenants will not hesitate to break a lease if their circumstances change, while it makes it harder for you to remove them if they become a problem.

Due to unexpected circumstances, I’ve had to come out of pocket probably close to about 50K or more since the inception of the project, and he’s made excuse after excuse as to why he has not been able to.
