As of now, this is probably my preference. Not a fruit tree, though.

Yes, it would cost a total of about 6% but that is split between the buying and listing agents (not 50/50 I don't think). Let's say the split is 4%/2%, then not using a listing agent would save you on that 4%.

There's a high probability that I am wrong, but I think that is the gist.

You're partly right. The fee is split between the selling and buying agents (if there is a buying agent), but it all comes out of the seller's fee (the 6%). The buyers don't pay any of that.

To the poster that said you might as well use a buying agent because the sellers pay the commission, I have a counter point. If you go into a transaction as a buyer without an agent, you could potentially negotiate a lower price since you would be saving the the seller money by not using an agent.

True. But buying-realtor's (especially since they're free basically) can be a priceless asset, especially if you're not real familiar with the area. They give you better ideas as to what price is reasonable, help with some of the wording in the contracts, deal with making sure inspection/appraisal is done etc.

Always nice when someone gets on here talking shite when you have no clue how commissions work for realtors. A realtor would not make anything close to $12k on a $200k sale unless they were the buying/selling agent and a broker.

So it wouldn't cost the seller ~$12,000 to use a realtor to sell his $200,000 house?

No, but using your phone/computer in the shower to post on TD may kill you.

It took me a minute to figure out how your 9 year old could've been adopted 13 years ago.

Methyltetrahydrafolate redutase. I thought everyone knew that.


Really though, I'm surprised we lasted until page 3 before someone brought that up.

You want to be sexually asphyxiated during oral sex?

So if cost of living goes down one year, the employees should expect a pay cut? And be cool with it?

Everyone on this board would sex everyone of those women.

I only use 6, so I guess it says I'm only living up to roughly half my potential.
