Building a new home and already have a buyer for our current house. Dont really see a point in hiring a realtor at this point (I think they want like 6% commish when Ive already done most of the leg work). Our state website offers a contract template for selling a home...other than having a professional look over our contract is their anything else I need to do to cover my ass on the transaction?
Fuck a realtor. Do some research, hire an attorney for all the legal BS, and save yourself the 6%. Homes around me cost minimum $600k. I am not giving two realtors $18K each for posting a couple Craigslist ads. If you do go with a realtor, negotiate a flat fee and offer the selling agent 2%.
If you are a buyer, find a broker who gets the whole 3% back, and negotiate a 1% kickback.

mrs groundhog an i tried to sell our house using a realtor. it just seemed like they never tried, never had open houses etc...it wasnt worth paying 7% to do basically nothing...
the house we bought, i found it, made the offer etc...brought in inspectors etc....all the realtor did was show up at the closing and collect 18k from the seller...only regret was i wish i could have got a hold of the owner(lived in texas) and neg a lower price.

My house closes tomorrow...I looked at doing it myself, but it seemed like it was a whip.
My buddy's wife sold it for 1% commission...
But if you already have a buyer, you would be really dumb imo to pay a realtor at this point.
You pay for the advertisement and dirty paperwork imo. And you don't need the mls bs now.
I don't really know how you get out of paying the buyer's realtor (if they have one) though.
