Find a good mortgage person at a BANK. Talk to a them about what you want to do, let them review your credit and tell you what you can afford to buy, then start looking for a place, you will probably have $0 down? then you ned to find a person taht will accept these terms. Most buyers are leery about these deals as they can fall apart.
I can refer a mortage person to you with Citizens Bank that can help.

Enough already. people like Tman and Fred are going to exist in every aspect of sales. What Tman refuses to address is just like the Twins will never be the Mets or the Yankees, smaller markets are going to always be smaller markets. (except when Tiger drives throught the town car to hang out with Gary Player and Tman) Tman does not understand different markets only what he sees in his backyard.
The standard commission for selling a home is 5.1% - that is the national average. If you are in Enid, Oklahoma, it could be possible that the rates could be higher or lower, in Catskill NY the average is 7%.. that is 4 hours north of NYC and houses do not sell too often... 7%. So, I guess we know that houses in wherever South Carolina where Tman, Tiger Woods (ha ha) and Gary player live.. Your commission will be in the 2.5% - 3% range.. so I advise you to move to a better area if you want to sell homes.
Done. Over.

For those of you who do not know Fred, I sold his Mom a 1 bedroom condo and he did not want me to... He wanted her to buy a two bedroom so he could continue to live with her and she said "no, you are 47 and need to get out on your own" She got a great deal.
Tman -
I realize that you are in a small market and I do not expect you to understand what is happening in different areas of the country. Live it up, have Gary and Tiger come by and have a coke with you!
If you make to Hilton Head, I'll see you on the golf course.

Tman, Sure we all know that the Carolinas are good for golf.. I actually own on Hilton Head Island.
Tiger is building a course, (make sure you stand around and wave to him as he zooms by) which is great... Why? because it is cheap in comparison to up north. The weather is better yes, but other then the golf?
Your market is much lower then here, that is the point. My brother bought in Georgia ( north of Atlanta, great area) 4 bedroom colonial that was 2 years old.. on 1 acre of land... $199,000 that was during the height of the market 2 years ago. Same house here, 30 miles out of NY is 800k - I know it is hard for some like you to comprehend my note, try real hard.
It is a different market and if you have agents taking 3% in your area, you have obviously been hit harder then this area.
I do not really expect you to understand, from your response you seem like a idiot.

Hi Ray,
Just note, Tman is located in "Sunset, South Carolina" These are places that are feeling the crunch of the bad market. Ohio, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia...
Not 40 Miles outside of NYC. The market has slowed, but not to the extent that some other parts of the country. and also, a good home priced correctly, will sell. period.
Tman's thoughts (although interesting ) has nothing to do with our area, if it did Foxtons would still be around!

Not trying to be redundant, 6% is the starting point. Depending upon the agent and company 6% has become the norm as it is taking a little longer to sell some homes and the cost of marketing your home is great. Of course all commisisons are negotiable and 5% us usually the settle point.
There are some that will walk in the door and will offer you 4% yes, but the key in interviewing a Realtor is to see what they are doing for you. Make sure the agent can produce that ad copy, magazines advsrtised in, direct mailing and website(s) information. this information should be brought to the interview and readily available. What does this have to do with commission? $ spent in marketing. Find out how often these ads run.
Take all into consideration when selecting a Realtor and the company behind the realtor.
Good luck with your home sale!

John Sacktig answered:
You can get a realtor to help. We have clients that are looking in all price ranges for rentals. It is worth a shot. A commission would be due and contracts / background checks can be written just like any other rental.
John Sacktig answered:
If you find the right house at a good price, then the statement that "real estate has always been the best investment" should hold true. I would say that a house at the corner of a busy intersection is always going to be a house on the corner of a busy intersection and the price paid may be the price of the house.
Call me / Email me. I work in these areas and I have seen a few homes in both Sayreville and South River that would be good purchases. Email me your price range and needs and I will send you what is available in the price range and we can sort them out.
