Do we have to pay realtor fees once the realty contract ends?

March 8, 2010 - 5:20 pm 2 Comments

We had accepted offers on each other’s house, appraisals came back to low from the lender. One party can afford to go lower, the other cannot because of the realtor fees. (appraisals were approx 12k low). Contract w/ the realtor ends in 2 weeks, can we just switch to fsbo and buy each other’s houses at the appraised amounts and exclude the realtor?

More than likely you signed a contract with the real estate company to list the house. You will notice that there is a time period, typically six months, in which you are still obligated to the contract for any offers resulting for the time in which the listing contract was active.

You are better off trying to work out a solution with the agents already involved. Sometime when everybody gives up a little everyone wins.

What if an insane person perceives realty correctly and normal people are actually hallucinating? ?

February 28, 2010 - 10:01 am 17 Comments

Maybe insane people are just people who have broken free from the ties that bind normal people. What if what your seeing right now is actually not there. What if your actually insane?

Most insane people are patently incorrect about everything. Your question is like the sound of one hand clapping.

Is it normal to be charged a "Realty Fee" for using a realtor associated with one of the large firms?

February 26, 2010 - 8:03 am 1 Comment

This is to be payed by the buyer (me) at close of escrow ($395 is what I was quoted). This is in addition to the 3% to be payed by the seller. This came from a Prudential Realty CA agent. Is this common? Anyone heard of this before?

realtors try this all the time and call it an admin or processing fee. unless you agreed to it in wrting on buyer agency agreement then tell them to forget it. they cannot just add a fee that you never agreed to in writing.

this is a technique many realtors try with buyers now to earn a little extra money.

inexperienced buyers get nailed with this all the time. i wonder why real estate agents have bad reputations?

What is reasonable compensation for me to pay a apartment realty agent?

February 24, 2010 - 7:26 am 2 Comments

My boyfriend and I are having a little one and are in need of a bigger space, still a apartment but yet reasonable…I would prefer using a realtor because I’m due in the spring and I wanna be moved in at least by the new year…the only thing is I don’t know what the average rate is of a realtor to help find a apartment in NY, (Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan)….any suggestions….realtor recommendation greatly appreciated…

I live on Long Island and used realtors for 2 apartments-worst landlords i ever had but they charge a Months fee some will take off some but most dont. If your rent is 1200 they get 1200 on top of the security you have to put down so be sure you have it. the agent i used on one apartment took off 100.00 but that was it.

good luck and congratulations.
