Real Estate

This varies by local custom. Here in St. Louis, the listing broker will charge about 7%. This is negotiable, but that’s pretty much the average. When the house sells, the listing broker will get 55% of the commission and the selling broker will get 45%. They usually split their shares with the agent that sells the property 50/50.

Call and ask. That’s the best way to find out.

We are moving to the Grand Junction area in the next week and a half & I am trying to find listings of houses for sale by owner ..priced between 100,000 & 175,000 dollars…. Where can I find such listings? We have a realestate agent already.. so please no soliciters.. I just wanted to do some research of my own too & see if I can find something she didn’t…. More options ya know! Thanks for your help… & please no spammers

you might wanna try realitytrac.com but that is paid service.
but for first 30 days they have a trial period for free of charge.

For everyone who owns a home- what are your utility bills like.
How much do you pay for electricity, gas, water etc…
I want to buy a home in Lombard IL.
If anyone is from there can you tell me what the property taxes are?

theres a lot more to it than that…all these figures are based on size of house, number of people living there, city, state, and how much you paid for it and how much down you put…

I’m starting a classified ads website and i’m wondering if I can add listings that local real estate companies have listed on there website to my "real estate" portion of my local classified ads website?

I’m planning on putting all the information up on who to contact in regards to the listing.

I would think if you had permission from the companies as well as whatever source you are using to obtain the information. Stealing content from another web site would be illegal.

as real estate agent I need to have laptop(wireless) with me on meeting with new client out of office.what is the best option for laptop.

Whatever wireless service you have in your area and talking to people you know living there will be the best referral for that, is what will be most important. Also, as long as it has enouth memory for a program that you use for realestate and your book keeping that sort of thing. Dell is probably the best. if you are going to share files with your desktop you may not need as much memory for those programs, pictures take a lot of memory. So, Dell will design a unit just for your needs. They are great about that. They will try to sell more than you might need so really talk to other business people and see what their experience has been before you do anything. My first Gateway…first computer ever they sold me way more than I needed in programs so, I know they all do it. Just know what you want before you call and go for lots of storage and memory and speed/ Good luck.

I recently finished college with an associates degree, and currently I work at Amphenol in Sidney, For about 2yrs I have wanted to step into the realestate field and now I just need to know the best way to get started.

i took my test ( i have a high school education) i passed it first time..and have a license…i think you could get abrokers license but you should just ask dept or real estate in your state…i studied my test at home with a video tape ..i wathced it over and over and over again and when i wen to take my test…i knew 95% of the answers including the math..the way the tape was presented to me was.."if you watch a movie once..and someone askeds you ?"wahat did theat guy say about the bomb"? you might not remember..but if you saw the same movie about 20 times in a row.., you would be able to quote the actor..word for word! its all reptiton and that s how i got my license good luck on getting yours..then just join a real estate office and your in like flyn…

The use of an environmental disclosure report will generally protect you from any liability. More detailed information will most likely be state specific.

We own a half acre lot with two rental homes on them. They both run off the same sewer and same water utilities. They do have separate gas and electricity bills. They are no connected. One large house in the front and a small rental in the back. I would like to separate the property. The zoning in my area calls for one living unit for every half acre. We have had two on this property for over 20 years. Can I divide the property and sell a portion? Where do I go to find the information that I need?

I suspect if the zoning says 1 per 1/2 acre you are out of luck selling one off with less thatn that. But as Ace said call the zoning board. You will have a very expensive, in the thousands of dollars, bill for separating that sewer and water lines.

A couple of years back I tried to fight city hall on just such an issue, I lost.

Good luck

I may back out of my house sale because of fees.Inspection wasnt done yet,so I should be able to cancel,its my house.They want 5800 sale fee,639 to check for liens,495 administration fee,200 water bill fee.Is this nuts?$495 should be in the 5800 commision fee,right,I will have a loss of $17000 if I go through with these costs.If I sell,will they force these fees on me?I dont want to sell.
I have $123,000 invested,only owe $81,000 ,but will only walk away with $27,185.We did the math and will be neg $17000.Agent only will say fees are normal,almost $9000 fees? Crazy.being a 2 family I lived in for 7 yrs,I was told I may have to pay a gains tax?I lost $17000 according to my accountant( not including interest and property taxes paid)There was no gain.People here say just do what we say,no questions or i will hurt their feelings.wow.

You are getting cheated if all these fees weren’t disclosed to you in advance. But we can’t know the complete situation. If you are getting a $300,000 profit when the sale closes, no one is going to feel sorry for you. Just refuse to pay the administrative fee. Unless you completely understood it when the house went up for sale. A contract is not a contract unless there is a "meeting of the minds".
