I'm a new agent in Raleigh, NC and I was wondering what the standard commission schedule is.

Feel like a 70's sitcom when I titled that...I dont get paid unless I help you close a deal. 3% is standard.

PM is not going to push up the value assume the property is maintained to a good standard.5.

Before we convert the property in to condos we'll find tennants for the investor's property and we'll charge them standard market rate for their unit, and if we don't find tennants we will pay out of our own pockets the rent.

The buildings pass my expense/income standards (and the price is right) but I am worried about the quility of the tenants.

If you try to hide the deal rather than do it legally you are even worse off.You need to know the laws, the house rules for your brokerage and remember the public (including bird dogs) do not have to meet the same standards that you are held to.Good luck.John Corey

Umbrella insurance should be standard.

There's no equity there to be paying to the seller.As for standard day to day deals, $1 should hold the contract, but doesn't make you look very serious as a buyer.

With the subprime fiasco; a pending flood of foreclosures; the political change with more taxes on the way; the tightening of lending standards; etc, we're in for a long ride.

In some states the title company will have standard forms that can be used.The title and the existence of the existing first must be made clear to the buyer.
