Let’s talk about wages. Real estate agents only make money if a sale happens. In the case of buying a house the agent who represents the buyer will need to be compensated for their time and effort. The question is, will the buyer or the seller be paying the fee. Traditionally the seller has paid from their proceeds from the sale. But if a seller is unwilling to pay the fee the homebuyers will be on the hook to pay the fee. Now more than ever it’s important to find out up front if the seller will pay. ============================ ==SUBSCRIBE== ==LIKE== "Likes" help more people find our videos ..read more

But time and again I have seen good, ok, and bad offers come in early and had a patient seller receive the best offer later. How do you know when you have the right offer, well that’s where, I your experienced agent, come in handy. ============================ ==SUBSCRIBE= ==LIKE== "Likes" help more people find our videos. ==COMMENT== Share your opinion and ask questions ..read more
