Otherwise, file a complaint with the Georgia Real Estate Commission.

Only challenge would be Real Estate Commission calling that referral fee a commission which would require them to have a license.

Too bad that agents are not educated about auctions - what a great way to sell real estate - we do 200 auctions a year - representing investors and home owners - there are times when we sell for more than the reserve - sellers are over-joyed when this happens------ so are we.It is important to select the right auction company and auctioneer and to pay enough money for advertising - you should always get a written advertising proposal from the auction company so that you know where your money is being spent.Does the auctioneer charge a commission, flat rate or buyer's premium?

Agents get commissions, but investors get wealthy.

I've used them on listed property a couple times successfully on my own, but had to have a much higher DP to cover the commission.  

I realize I may have to pay my realtor's commission, but am hoping my closing costs wouldn't be double what I have paid on my other properties that were on MLS.

You can collect commissions from the houses they end up buying.

Spend your first couple of commissions putting some skin in the game for a flip.

Hoping to cheat me and the listing agent out of a commission? 

I asked my agent to ask the listing agent if they would forego their commission for those three houses since I'm not a serious buyer!
