I’m wondering if my landlord had to pay a fee to the listing agent who showed us the home we now rent. If so, how is that fee determined? Is it split between agents?
Some do. Each agent or owner can decide what they want to do. In many NYC units, the tenant pays the agent directly.
In some upstate cities the agent might only make a small amount for renting a place for the owner.
I have a new home inspection business and need to send my flyer with attached coupon to realtors so home buyers can use my services and save money!
Phone them up and ask them. Remember the phone?
I’ve moved and can’t change my TV listings to my new set of channels; I’ve gone to yahoo.tv and selected the zip code and favorites but adding tv content to my home page always brings back my old channel listings
HI,
I just this week did the EXACT same thing, and here’s the best solutio so far i found:
(by the way i complained to Yahoo,..nothing heard back yet)
The way I do it is , after i chhoose my cable provider, zip, etc,…the next time it goes to the channel ‘homepage’, i don’t re-enter all my info agian.
Instead., in the mid upper left of the pare, i click on ‘tv (channel )listings tab, & it goes to the old listings (eg mine) that ae for my area.
Thanks!
I have NO clue why Realtors charge as much as they do to sell a house..
I am thinking about doing a programs that is :
I charged $500 upfront + (1/2) of 1% of the sales price (in addition they still are responsible for 3% buyers agent)
For example on a 300k home:
Traditional Cost: 9k (me) + 9k (buyers agent) + 5k buyers closing cost = 23k
My Way: $500 (upfront fee) + 1500 (1/2 of 1%) + 9k (buyers agent) + 5k (closing cost) = $16000
My way = Total Savings of 7k
Do you think people would consider this method?
The upfront fee would cover some my out of pocket expenses such as signs, electronic key’s, advertising etc
I did do a little research and there is someone in my state that does this but she her upfront fees are a little more . Although this month alone she got 98 new listings and since last year around this time she has gotten 958 total (not including the one’s that sold)
What are your thoughts?
Maybe I should have mentioned I am a licensed agent.
I pay my broker $85/month. For access to the two MLS services. My company also host my website (included in monthly fee), telephone, by the way the electronic key is a one time fee since I am a member of the MLS. I only have to pay for my personal key so show homes. Also my broker will only not more than 30%. My continuing education is FREE . My broker host clases 2-3 times a month for this
Our listings are sent out to over 750 websites (and counting).
Of course there would be a disclosure that states we cannot guarantee a home will sell but we will continue to try until it is sold.
please contact me through here if you have any additional questions…
I am only 20 so all the info I can get will help out a lot
Thanks
there are a couple companies in my state that does this but they really do not do much sales. Mainly because they are internet based and there is no physical office (besides the a real estate agent that does this on the other side of the state) and the other agents are not really "known" agencies I am with a nationally known company which i think will help
Check out http://Redfin.com and http://Ziprealty.com
They already have a discounted program that works.
I want to buy a house… what do I do first? Do I buy a new home? perviously owned? what a good interest rate? I don’t know were to start! Every agent I speak to wants to sell me one of their listings. I just need some honest help on what to look for and what questions to ask, whats a interest rate, a good motrgage payment, etc. My credit is pertty good about 750 & I make about 70,000/year, have a few large bills like tuition, car payment & some mics, stuff. to pay. IS that goos enough to buy a home? What price range should I be looking for? I live on the border of Texas & NM. Any web sites that can help a first time home buyer? Help me with real estate jarjon, etc…
First, you need to figure out what’s important for you in a house. I suggest creating a “nice to have” list and a “don’t care about” list. In other words, make a list of what is important for you in a house. Are great schools a major factor in where you want to live? Is access to public transportation important? Nearby parks? Proximity to your job? Do you prefer urban, rural or suburban living? What isn’t important to you? Make this list and then you’re ready to start
Start with open houses in an area where you might want to live. You can walk through homes and get a feel for what’s on the market. Then, you also may want to consider a buyer’s (real estate) agent, but, that’s not really my area of expertise.
What I can help you with is “the basics” of shopping for a mortgage. Keep in mind, the interest rate isn’t really as important as the impact on your monthly budget. How much of a payment (don’t forget to include taxes and insurance!) can you afford each month? Knowing the answer to this question will help you find out your target home price. And don’t forget to include in your home-buying budget expenses such as closing costs, appraisals, fees, ect. You really need to talk to a mortgage professional as soon as possible to get specific information.
Overall, your credit score and income sound solid, but don’t forget that there are four parts to getting approved for a mortgage: income, credit score, assets and the property itself.
Check out the link below for a complete walk-through of the first-time home buyer’s process. I think you’ll find most of your questions answered there. I hope this information helps.

On the radio the other day I heard a song that was about a father telling his son that he loves him in his own way. Some of the lyrics were about how the son is going to college and the dad checks everything in the car then tells him to call his mom sometimes. Then later he is married and living in a new home and his dad fixes it up to make sure it is safe for his son to live in, bu going back and forth to the hardware store. I thought tge song was by Bucky Covington but I can’t find it on any of his track listings. Please help me.
It is Bucky Covington’s newest single "A Father’s Love" (The Only Way He Knew How).
You can listen to it on his website. Here’s the link. http://buckycovington.musiccitynetworks.com/index.htm?id=9930
recently my home page was CHANGED without warning, I DON,T LIKE it I am NOT able to read my EMAILS PROPERLY AT ALL
If you have been switched to the New Mail, then on the mail screen click Options, then click Switch to the Classic Mail. If it asks if you are sure you want to switch, click Yes to Opt out. If it’s the homepage, you can’t return to the original since Yahoo made the new homepage permanent. For most of us it was Nov.11. But you can click Page Options, then click Switch to Compact View, that will stop the pop ups and fly overs. It makes it more like the original.
What are some good websites that I can post my Parakeets up for sale on. Please let all the websites be for the USA. And could they please be free. I really need a lot of views so I can find my birds a nice, loving, new home. Thanks
Oh ya and cant do craigslist because they ban pet ads 
I tried already, thanks anyway.
I suggest using kijiji.com
Im looking to buy a new home and many of the listings say "forced air" cooling system, does that mean swap cooler or central air?
It means that the system uses a fan and ducts. It could be a swamp cooler or central air. For more info go to www.hvac-for-beginners.com
