Your assignment fee is determined by how much you decide to make on the deal.Now as Robin described you need to make it a win-win situation, and you do that by factoring your fee into your offer initially so that you can be selling it at your predetermined price.Understand, though, that your assignment fee is whatever you think you can sell it for minus what you get the seller to sell the house to you for.

There could be lots of reasons why the seller wants to look at both offers and why highest price is not the only deciding factor.

I've left her voicemail this morning and she'll probably call me back when her hangover wanes a bit :roll:

I'm running down to the city in the morning to register for the next round of testing.

I was happy she had a factor for OE.

She said that she had to be at her desk promptly by 8:00 a.m. every morning, could go to lunch only between X and Y each day, and couldn't leave until 5:00 p.m. each day.

If you factor in slumping retail, CRE is toast.On a side note, I was in a mall today and it was EMPTY.

I spend a few hours in the morning on stock and most of the day on my real estate deals and networking.
