I've not heard many people say they had luck with FSBOs, which are often the case of the seller wanting too much for their property and being unwilling to pay a commission to get it.Bottom line?

If you're busy in other parts of your business, it can be hard to focus on selling houses.If you're buying for yourself, you'll probably have to fight a few listing agents who will want to stiff you out of your commission because "Agent is buyer and therefore not entitled to a commission" (I really get angry over this, and YES agents try it all the time!)

Why not just borrow the money there and forego the commission to the insurance salesman for the whole life policy?

Financial planners will recommend selling all real estate and putting it into the market as they get a commission for that and perhaps a management fee on the side.

Lender points are paid upfront typically, however, everything is negotiable and can be arranged on the back end.As for costs, RE commissions will run you 6% standard and investors should arrange to pay 5% or less.

An internet search shows this is one of their scams with a company called "Cross Country".So they will be getting one huge letter which I will copy to the NJ Banking Commission (the house is in NJ).

Although I do take a pretty big hit from the broker when it comes to commissions, usually a 50/50 and all advertisments and marketing 50/50, I regain that loss of money in education.

However, I had been in it long enough so that all of my renewal commissions were vested and I still receive them to this day.

When we called them on it, they told us we could act as outside counsel, but they would not split any of the commission.

Simple question....is co-brokerage on multifamily typically an even split of the commission?
