It will depend on the price. If it's over couple of millions, then you should expect a lower commission than normal 6%. I am an agent in the San Fernando Valley area in Los Angeles. If you want, we can get together or talk about your property over the telephone. The important things that any Realtor and buyer will want to know is the number  and type (1+1, 2+1, etc) of units in the buiding, gross rental income from apartments, approximate utility expenses and taxes.

I agree cash. If you offer to pay the contractor cash he may lower his price

Realtors are not allowed to discuss specific commission percentage, in a public forum. We can however, discuss the commission with someone who is retaining our service, either listing their home for sale, or if we are acting as a buyers agent. \nI suggest you discuss your needs with a local Realtor.

Commission: depends on the estate agents they work for.\nIt grows with the amount of houses you sell in a month.\nJob description is basically sales.\n\nYou have to create a market for your product, match buyers to sellers and close the deals.

usually 0 - they work 100% commission.  So you get out of it, what you put into it.  A realtor is a tough job though - in California, there are more realtors then houses where sold this year.

You need to get hold of an agent in the area.  The title company will not just give anyone that information.  I also live in S.D., if you need to get pointed in the right direction email me:  kevin_canter@sbcglobal.net

You can use the figure (just an estimate) of about $100 a square foot (bathrooms are a little more).   May be more or less depending on the reputation of your builder and the region of the country you live in.

That depends on their contract with the broker. Each office is different. Talk to many office brokers and ask to see their contract. While you are at the office, note how busy they are. Be sure to ask what your commission split will be when you start and at what level does it change. Also many offices now offer a salary + commission program. This might be best to start out. Most real estate agents work for less than $15 / hr.. You have to build your business to increase your income.

I've always found that the best way to find a "going rate" for anything was simply to check eBay. For systems matching your specs. I saw a range of about $120 to $190 {plus shipping}.\n\nYou can generally get a little bit more when selling locally, but not that much.

Keep in mind...........\n\nTimes and markets are changing!\n\nIn California with average homes selling well over $500,000, a 20% decline is $100,000! In any market 'timing is everything'! So, could you afford a loss of 25% of your investment all because of poor timing???\n\nThis last up cycle was 10 years in many parts of the country. The downcycle now started in CA, Wash DC, NYC, Vegas and other hot areas of the past are all soft and getting softer.\n\nFrom 1990 to 1996, the average home in San Diego lost 20% of its' value! The cycle we are now enterng looks like it could well exceed that on the downside!\n\nWith all the 100% financing, interest only loans, EZ qualifing etc...even a slight decline will cause many to be unable to sell for the amount due on their loans!\n\nFor some great 'insider' articles on the San Diego real estate market, which I believe will apply to any of the hot real estate markets of the past five years.....visit:\n\nhttp://www.downtown-san-diego-real-estate.com/san-diego-real-estate-article-index.htm\nhttp://www.brokerforyou.com\nhttp://www.san-diego-for-sale-by-owner.com\nhttp://www.la-jolla-ca-del-mar-san-diego-real-estate-encinitas-california.us\nhttp://www.brokerforyou.com/blogger/index.html\nhttp://san-diego-coastal-real-estate.blogspot.com\nhttp://sandiegofsbo.blogspot.com\nhttp://downtown-san-diego-real-estate-views.blogspot.com

First, I'm from Pa. S I dont know the intracacies of Cal law.  But from what I've read and know from experience, I would definitely NOT rent to them.  Let me see!  you're looking for an apt, a $1000 one at that, and you dont have the $$ for the deposit?  Believe me, they won't have the $$ for anything else either.  It seems to me they cant afford tit in the first place.  The fact that you took a partial deposit has no bearing on whether to accept them or not.  BTW, did they fill out a rental ap?  I'll bet any references they gave if any are sketchy at best.  CALL to verify employment or where ever the $$ is coming from. If they cant pass the application phase, they cant afford it.  DO NOT RENT TO THEM UNTIL YOU ARE SURE THEY CAN PAY THE RENT.Better yet, tell them that until you receive the full deposit, you HAVE to keep showing the apt.  If they dont move on that, then consider it a excellent sign that they never had the $$ to begin with.\nI just ask me cousin who lives in LA about this.  She's never heard of such a law and they have rented apts in the past.  Tell them to hit the bricks.
