There is no standard "set" rate of commissions, they are set buy the broker based upon their cost to do business and receive a reasonable profit, failing which will cause any broker- or business to cease operations. \n\nFor outside brokers to discuss commissions is not smart, such can be, and has been construed as colusion on setting commissions which clearly violates the Sherman anti-trust act.\n\nTo get your specific  desired reply, contact an Assit to Sell brokerage firm direct. \n\nRegarding any real estate firm that promises to save money with discount services, a word of caution: be careful that you read all their contract, know what services you are paying for and expect to receive. Many people are rudely awakend to less than they thought they had contracted for and end up paying full commissions and being unhappy with what they bought. As with any cut rate firm, be ready to work yourself.\n\nIn the real world and the business world there are no free lunches, somebody always pays. If you set aside money  to cover the cost when the cheaper item fails- and it is likely to fail, then you could have paid for the higher quality item or service up front and been done with it, saving time and money.\n\nIn a slowing real estate market, if you intend to sell, you will need all the edge you can get to stay on top of the market and have a successful sale.\n\nPlease consider the potential for failure, prepare well for it and act accordingly. Good luck.

Never offer the full asking price. I would start out offering 10,000 less than they are asking. They'll probably negotiate with you till you come to a happy medium. Happy house buying!

It sounds like you're talking about the mortgage broker, not the real estate broker.  The real estate broker is the company selling the house (if any).  The mortgage broker is the company doing the loan for you.\n\nIf you are talking about the mortgage side of it, then typically 1-2% is a pretty good deal for closing costs.  It depends on the deal though.

210,000 is 88% of 238,636.36\n\n206,800 is 88% of 235,000\n\nIf your offer is 210,000 and the appraised value is 235,000 any lender will loan money based on the fact the value of the property exceeds the purchase price.\n\nWill the seller accept the offer?  There is no way to tell as this would be the seller's personal choice.\n\nI am not understanding where the 88% calculation matters.  If your contract specifies that the offer is contingent on the sales price being at least 88% of the value, then you are fine because 210,000 is 89.36% of the value of 235,000.

You can offer what ever you want.\nThe realtor is required by law to present your offer.\nDon't listen to mental cases who tell you that you have to offer so close to the asking price- forget what they have to say.\n\n          Alot of people end up saving thousands by starting lower.. if you're in a hot area where property sells within days, sure, a low offer won't do you much good.\n\n                  But don't ever feel that you have to, for example, offer 380k just because some asshat has his property listed at 400. That's the most ridiculous idea I've ever heard of.\n\n                          If you offer 300 what is the worst that can happen... turned down or maybe a counter offer? If you go in like an idiot offering almost their asking price when they might have taken 340 for example you'll be making a $40,000 mistake just by listening to bad advice on the internet\n\n\n        Offer what YOU think is fair... start LOW. Period.\nI don't care what anyone gets on here and says.\nJust start low and offer what you think is fair.

Depends on the area. Usually 3% and that is split between the agent and broker. The seller agent charges 6 to 7% and splits that with the buyer agent. Remember we are independant contractors and pay all our taxes and Social Security. Alsao, Health Ins. mortgage, taxes and ins. on our homes. Car expenses etc.

I am a Realtor in Oregon and Washington. I started in the business in 1986. I take 15 clock hours of continuing education per year for each state. Even yesterday, I  asked my colleagues about something I hadn't run across before. \n\nSure, you want to save the commission. I don't blame you. But mistakes are expensive. \n\nTwo weeks ago I listed a condo for sale. The day after my sign went up, another went up 'By Owner.' Three days later, mine was sold, but I had two buyers left over. \n\nI called the 'By Owner' guy to see if he had sold yet and he was excited because he had sold his, too. My customer sold his condo for $130,000 (1,000 over full price) and paid a $6,500 commission. His net will be about $123,500.\n\nThe By Owner? He sold his for $115,000! He saved the commission but it cost him $15,000! He could have sold for $130,000!\n\nIt was as if he had sold the condo and paid a 11.5% commission!\n\nHere's a link to the one I sold: http://www.rmlsweb.com/Reports.asp?CMAID=8243123&Time=2003\nYou can click on the address and get a pop-up map of the location.\n\nGo with a Realtor, Please?\n\nIf you want, I can refer you to an experienced, full time agent in  your hometown that I will personally interview.\n\nYou can contact me toll free or by email. \n\nBest wishes,\n\nLeigh M\nPortland\nhttp://www.LeighMaynard.com

Compare what you're selling to other listings. Set it up to start at like, 50% of what the selling rate is.

well i am a broker and for linda it is very unfair that real estate agents try to blame us for making our money. if you sell a $300,000 house you get 3.5% = $10500 automatically but if we charge 2 points = $6,000\nall agents do is show a house people buy on there own off of emotions, brokers have to deal with the people make them chase documents, fight with underwriters and do all the hard work but when it comes time to pay us people act like we're crazy. Ive been on both sides. So to answer the the main question if you can provide quick quality service and be honest to a realtor by telling them weather or not the deal has a chance that is all anything else comes with the territory and real estate agents dont understand because there is much they have to do

realtors work for the seller.  If you are the seller, interview several agents and pick one you can work with, you are paying them a nice chunk so they should be more accomodating to you.

There are 4 parties involved. The selling agent, selling broker, buyers agent and buyers broker. It is possible that the agent and broker are the same on either side (the broker was also the agent). It is also possible that the buyer and seller may use the same agent or broker or same broker different agent...\n\nsheesh, well now that you understand that.....\n\nThe normal commission is 6%, so that is 3% for each side and it is also standard that the broker and agent split evenly so 1.5% each. But that is really up to them as employer and empleyee how they structure their deal. The agent usually has to pay for office supplies and a portion toward secretaries etc. So the real numbers get all jumbled up.\n\nSo the real point of bringing all this up is so you know how much the person is making if you are asking for a discount. Getting someone to drop their rate from 6% to 5% doesnt sound like a big deal. But if you are asking your agent to do this you are taking away 2/3rds of thier commission by dropping it from 1.5% to 0.5% to get the total to 5%. Not likely they will be real friendly about it.\n\nAlso it is typically the seller that pays the entire commission, so the real answer to your question is nothing.

Generally no salary. Standard commisions are 6% for the sale of a house.  25% goes to the listing agent, 25% goes to the selling agent,25% goes to the listing broker, and you guessed it, 25% goes to the selling broker.  In any market, the listing agent/broker always make money, since lots of agents can sell the property you have listed.  In supply and demand, always be on the supply side in real estate.

Sure, it's easy to do.  You can list it on several websites for selling real estate including homes.com, forsalebyowner.com, and owners.com.  You have to figure out what it's worth.  If you don't know that, you can get an estimate from zillow.com and you can also see what other folks are asking on homes.com and realtor.com (the real estate agents' website).  However, if you're a beginner at this, it's worth it to pay 5 or 6% for a professional to advise you and assist you.  Good luck!

She gets a percentage from the total sale not unless she has 2 share with another broker.Yes she gets her check at the closing here's an example my house sold for 108,000.00 my realtor got a check for $12,000.00 the mortage lady got a check for $20,000.00 so you tell me lol.I'd like their jobs

It charges a fee depending on your starting price.  And some of the options you can select also can cost a little more.  And then they charge a small percent of your final sale.

I would suggest 20% of the selling price. You must also think about the extra fees, such as taxes, title insurance, lending fees, closing cost, etc. that will add up quickly, and is usually expected out-of-pocket at the time of purchase. \n\nIf you are a first time homebuyer there are programs out there that will deviate some of those fees, but then if you don't have 20% down you will have to pay mortgage insurance, and from asking around I've noticed it's an average of $100 on top of your monthly mortgage. \n\nHope this helps, I am a first time homebuyer and have been investigating this a lot!!! Good luck!!

Research your options.  Basically, the best coverage is to do a for sale by owner,using a service for a fee that puts your home in the multi list, agreeing to pay a commission if a realtor brings you a buyer.  You are always in control of the selling price though.  Good luck.  In my personal experience, I adverstised a summer home in the Sunday paper with a photo and got a lot of calls.
