Cause you still pay them -- MrBayAreaHokie 03/20/2019 1:21PM

Did you write on the sign that you’d pay a 3% commission to buyer’s agent? -- Hoakie82 03/19/2019 6:25PM
No, you do not, but most likely the contract has the buyer agent -- VaTechie 03/19/2019 7:11PM
Yeah, i was totally willing to pay the 3%... ** -- MrBayAreaHokie 03/19/2019 6:31PM
That’s great but if it’s not written on the sign or if it’s not posted -- Hoakie82 03/19/2019 7:21PM
I'm not retarded, of course i made that clear in advertising and phone ** -- MrBayAreaHokie 03/20/2019 11:15AM
I wasn’t suggesting that I just don’t see why agents would black ball you. -- Hoakie82 03/20/2019 1:55PM

Should look into OfferPad if they are in the area. -- Nelsonia Hokie 03/19/2019 5:08PM
They have to lowball just like flippers, its the only way you can make -- fordham 03/19/2019 5:27PM
No more than the others. Cut out the 6% brokerage commission -- Nelsonia Hokie 03/19/2019 6:55PM

There is nothing that requires a buyer to agree to it. Go find a buyers -- Hoakie82 03/19/2019 7:30PM
Of course you're not required, but it's still that that is standard. ** -- jmanatVT 03/19/2019 9:18PM

I do think they add some value to the process -- Tafkam Hokie 03/19/2019 6:14PM
They add value if they can get you into a house before it actually -- reestuart 03/19/2019 4:22PM
