I researched the property at the Court House and found out National City charged off her account.

My new plan is to not advertise that they are included, and then charge an extra $25/month if they want one installed.

Just to give you a few comparison: Equity Trust Co has tiered fee schedule - for $50k to $100k, they charge $360/yr, and increases as your account increases in value; a bit less for <50K.

I also find they let me know about issues a lot faster, washer not working, light bulbs out in the common area etc.. ( we manage the building ourselves).

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

The lawyer spoke with me at length on the phone for no charge.

I would've had about 7-8k into this house if I had bought it and put in new HVAC so my question is would you have: 1. put the new HVAC system in and increase the # of years of the note for a higher price 2. put window units in and charged around 12.5k or 3. not put any money in and just sold it as-is for a cheaper price?

If your own maintenance staff is used on most matters, do you charge for each hour worked?

On top of that, she charges a $500 flat rate above the commission.

PMs typically charge half to a full months rent to fill a vacancy.
