You and I both know that a typical sale is going to eat 6% for commissions and another 2% for closing costs.

All our properties were highly leveraged with 5% down, or less after commission.

Everyone needs to check with the utility commissions for your area.

@Lukasz KasulaMan do not waist your time with a RE license unless you have a lot of properties that you want to put on the market and you trying to save on the commission.

They are not getting a one time commission.

He goes beyond the call of Real Estate Agent duty and has been rewarded with many a commission check, on the sale of our properties, our referrals, and the rental commissions that they earn in TX!

The first sentence is scary......I translate it as "If they had a pulse I got a commission check!"

Some of them have started calling me with potential deals - nothing worth pursuing yet, and I'm still educating most of them on what a "deal" is to me, but I'm wondering whether the pros here have experience working with both buyer's agents (someone who can scour the MLS, etc.) and alert you when they find something they think might interest you, and a seller's agents, who will call you when they have a listing they think you might be interested in.I know there are pluses and minuses with both, but here's what I've heard:1) If you're going to elicit the assistance of a buyer's agent, you should let that person know if you're also having listing agents call you with deals.2) The listing agent is likely to be more motivated, since they'll get both ends of the commission, but they'll obviously be calling you *only* with their listings, so it will take time to build up relationships with enough of them to keep any meaningful number of leads coming in.Opinions?

This was the only place where salaries were offered (instead of commission positions) and people were willing to work for less than highly experienced sr. underwriters, top tier account execs, etc.
