John,
Can you please provide more information about this property? As Karen said, the MLS number you gave lists a property in Appleton, WI.

John- are you in the Southeastern MLS (Milwaukee area?) if so the MLS number you list is for a totally different property in Appleton. Just want to make sure we have the correct MLS number for your property.

John
I appreciate your idea, however I would like to make a suggestion.
First, you might want to check Wisconsin real estate rules and regs but someone not directly involved in the transaction MAY not be legally able to receive a finder's fee unless they are a DRE licensee.
Second, if your primay marketing plan is to pay an $80,000 bonus to a broker for bringing a buyer, you should know that a poll of home buyers in 2008 reports that 90% of the time the buyer first sees the home they buy with a REALTOR. So Realtors need to be convinced that listing is worth showing (meaning that the price listed demonstrates a good value).

I would ask your Realtor how many homes like yours have:
1. Come on the market
2. Lowered their price
3. Entered Escrow
.4. Have closed escrow
From the time your home hit the market.

That may be of more benefit. Also, IMHO, you will receive more bang from your buck if you translate the bonus into commission. Talk with your Realtor for further details.

John,
We will keep this information on file an work with it if given the opportunity.
