in the US the realtors got sued and lost because we were paying them 6% of final sale (3% for seller agent, 3% for buyer agent). You can negotiate to 5% but still insane when the average house price is 400k + and sells in 3 days
so 24k for taking pictures and sitting at my place for a few hours on a weekend?
I was buying houses to flip and remodel as a side hustle for a bit because my company was like you can't buy stock

. Was real good money for a bit and one of my partners got his real estate lisence so we wouldn't have to pay commissions.
Most houses go for cash over asking price, sight unseen with no inspections.
when I bought my current house they wanted $250k. I offer 170k because It was an estate sale the person didn't die in the house but they fell in the bathroom and pretty much almost died then died at an old folks home. Also the gutters were fkd and caused 1 side of the house to have to be pretty much redone. (I did it with my dad and uncles) but would cost like 50k. Also the house needed paint and to remove like 40 layers of wall paper from each wall. The floors were all super ugly shag carpets but had brand new hard wood floors under it. Houses like this now go for 400k to some idiot in NY or NJ who is like wow what a deal its 1 million in my area
