If you show yourself to be a serious buyer most agents will be happy to work with you or will refer you to a qualified agent with less on their plate.

Deed of Trust Reference Number7.

For this purpose, just divide the annual net operating income (50% of gross rent) by .09 as the high end, divide NOI by .11 as the lower end of your potential range.Also, ask an agent to do a BPO/CMA to provide a point of reference.

My optimum solution would be to move them to the garage.

Hopefully I'll end up giving them a good reference as tenants, and visa versa.

If through a listing broker it will depend on what the listing broker entered on the MLS and MLS rules.In Georgia for instance on FMLS if as a broker you screw up and enter commission wrong,mistake things etc. you can be on the hook for the commission or lose access to the MLS.MLS's are sometimes controlled by REALTOR associations and other times are private entities that are non-profits or for-profit organizations.Also the brokers/agents involved it would matter if they were REALTORS or not.Generally your state's real estate commission does not handle commission disputes.They only care about license laws.The agent can argue procuring cause with the other agent but it should not stop your sale.Simply you would close and get your proceeds and the commission in question would be froze until a solution was given and signed in writing or a court order.There are so many variables to this and it is state specific.Procuring cause is a chain of events leading up to a sale of a property.If the chain is broken generally the broker/agents is not due a commission.The moral of the whole story is the buyers agent needs to learn how to protect themselves in the future.I am not going to court to get my agents commission when I only charge them a 300 flat fee as a broker.No legal advice

To me the solution is simple: Buy up all the foreclosures and other cheap properties and control the market.
