JustTheD asked:


I am selling a house. My agent asked for a 6% commission [3% for buyer's adent's 3% for the seller's]. I think that is too high. Is there room to negoiate this arrangement? Three years ago, she was my buyer’s agent and behind the scenes, go herself a 4.5% commission on a $300K purchase. Now, in a buyer’s market in RDU, NC, can ask that she settles for 1.5%?
Also, if I offer the buyer’s agent a 4% commission, can I insist that the agent gets the additional 1%, instead of the real estate agency? I want to motivate the buyer’s agent, but don’t want to dilute this with the agency. However, the agent is an employee of the company, so i doubt that this will go over.
I signed the paperwork, with 3% to buyer’s agent, 3% to sellers. The house is not moving. Granted the market is lousy. I wanted to motivate the buyer’s agent to sell my house. My seller’s agent is holding an open house, an opportunities for nosy neighbors to see my house. As of yet, she has not paid for anything more that a $300 MLS (which I had for one month too).
My friend has an MBA and delivers pizza’s, so don’t get too soobing with stories. BTW, why are RE commissions 6% in NYC [CPI 350%] & 6% in RDU [CPI 110%]? My salariy is only 30% different. Most other businesses people don’t triple their margins based on the market.
Actually, I have a great deal on my interest rate lock which I will lose by selling the house. I was thinking of offering a 5 year lease (with an option to purchase program, allowing 50% of the rent to be used towards a fixed current price). Does that make sense, because I live far away and don’t have anyone who can look over the house & tenants.

Hi! Does anyone know a good method or source of finding an honest, but aggressive attorney here in NC? I am planning on taking my real estate agent (buyer’s agent) to court for misrepresenting a house that I purchased but because the realtor is part of the largest real estate company in the state, Allen-Tate, most lawyers defer from the case, citing a conflict of interest. Thank you!

David asked:


I signed a contract with a real estate office in NC to sell my home. My contract was for one year and it’s been 4 months now. I have yet had any offers for my house and I’ve have to call about the advertisement for my home because the agent didn’t even have it on her page. The agent waits weeks to cut the grass and I feel that I should have at least had one offer by now. How do I get out of the year contract if I feel my house isn’t getting represented right and move on to a different agent?
I understand the agent is not a landscaper. In the contract I signed it states the firm will maintain the landscaping of my property while under contract and for the one that states that the agent doesn’t have to adverties the property thats bullshit too. The contract has four boxes checked off and signed by myself and her stating internet and non internet advertisment will be done including a open house (that was never done). I offered to pay for a landscaper and she told me she takes care of that. I know the market is bad and I did drop the price $8,000 and still nothing. I am in the military and live in Hawaii so this isn’t something I can just do on my own.
