Here in MA, MLSPIN (our main MLS in eastern MA) requires that the commission be stated in the listing as either a dollar amount or as a percentage of the sale and that all parties are required by contract with MLSPIN to accept that amount.I've not seen an instance where a short sale or REO refused to pay an agent/buyer, but the MLSPIN contract is the first place I'd go if they tried.As @Derek Carroll said, be sure to disclose up front that you're a licensed agent and you're also the buyer.

These are all in Massachusetts 

As a longtime resident of Massachusetts I can’t stress enough how important it is to consider distance in time rather than miles.

I would check with your state laws as to the proper method.30 DAY NOTICE TO QUIT WITH OFFER TO ESTABLISH A NEW TENANCY(TENANT AT WILL)Date: XX/X/2013 To: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Lowell Ma XXXXPlease be advised that I am terminating your tenancy.

MA requires interest paid too I think.

MA students and young professionals 24-28 so, is perfect for her as well   " By then they have often toned down the partying somewhat, gotten a job (fewer late night loud parties that disturb neighbors), care more about their credit, have some idea of the damage they're doing to a property, etc.

By the way, I am from Franklin, MA originally and all of my family is still up that way.  

Each of us live in different states and therefore cover our perspective territories; NY, NJ, and MA.

Hey Justin is parts of Massachusetts that cheap up there??
