I am a Realtor, so I'm saving my commission either way, but I will still need to compensate my broker if I go the MLS route, plus I will have to compensate any selling agent who brings a buyer.

@Joel Owens  Joel I know in your line of work you have to be D@@@m sure you handle your compensation in your agreements and I suspect your a licensed broker to back it up..

In a recent year 1 of them got a total  compensation (including benefits) of $245k and another got $197k.

If the property is listed, as a realtor, I would be compensated for this by the seller.

How would you structure them into the deal if you decide to move forward with their lead – and how would you incorporate the compensation for such??

., the insurance company may well compensate you for your losses based on past revenues.

What is your roll and how might these BOTGs be compensated?

The term de minimis costs means amounts (other than employee compensation and overhead) paid in the process of investigating or otherwise pursuing a transaction described in paragraph (a) of this section if, in the aggregate, the amounts do not exceed $5,000 (or such greater amount as may be set forth in published guidance).

It is important to set clear expectations for what you will do, what services they will provide, and what their compensation will be.

I've got a few who won't go over 70LTV though and 75LTV requires an exception with strong compensating factors.
