Hey all - A friend of BiggerPockets, Greg Swann of Bloodhound Realty, recently put together a free e-book on divorcing real estate commissions that I thought you might be interested in.According to Greg, As long as consumers know nothing about this, the fleecing will go on.Here's an excerpt:Question #1: “Potential buyers for our home ($800K - California) have a realtor but he did not find our home for them.
