Charles Shils Buyer agent commission
16 February 2012 | 11 replies
If through a listing broker it will depend on what the listing broker entered on the MLS and MLS rules.In Georgia for instance on FMLS if as a broker you screw up and enter commission wrong,mistake things etc. you can be on the hook for the commission or lose access to the MLS.MLS's are sometimes controlled by REALTOR associations and other times are private entities that are non-profits or for-profit organizations.Also the brokers/agents involved it would matter if they were REALTORS or not.Generally your state's real estate commission does not handle commission disputes.They only care about license laws.The agent can argue procuring cause with the other agent but it should not stop your sale.Simply you would close and get your proceeds and the commission in question would be froze until a solution was given and signed in writing or a court order.There are so many variables to this and it is state specific.Procuring cause is a chain of events leading up to a sale of a property.If the chain is broken generally the broker/agents is not due a commission.The moral of the whole story is the buyers agent needs to learn how to protect themselves in the future.I am not going to court to get my agents commission when I only charge them a 300 flat fee as a broker.No legal advice

Michael Power Investor vs Dealer - 1031 Exchange
24 February 2012 | 13 replies
In structuring our entities, (we function in Florida, Georgia and soon in Texas), we have been informed that, "...your company is a dealer in real estate sales and purchases, not an investor (1031 exchange tax deferral is not allowed for dealers)".A more detailed discussion will take place with our CPA, but I would like to hear from some others on BP who "deal" in rehabs within an LLC, s-corp or c-corp.How are your 1031 exchanges handled?
