Comments on: Real Estate Commissions - who pays?! http://500realty.net/blog/real-estate-commissions-who-pays/ Just another WordPress weblog Tue, 06 Jan 2009 00:55:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: Vance Walden http://500realty.net/blog/real-estate-commissions-who-pays/#comment-5 Vance Walden Sun, 23 Sep 2007 18:58:16 +0000 http://500realty.net/blog/real-estate-commissions-who-pays/#comment-5 I stopped by your booth at the fair and I applaud you for being able to offer "do it yourself" sellers and buyers more opportunities to capture the savings in their real estate transactions. I am a mortgage broker with Loan Network LLC(Lakewood, WA office) and I have assisted many home buyers who have done most of the research work online in finding their home only to pass on the commission to the buyer's agent. Of course, I work with some outstanding real estate agents who earn their fees, but it's nice to see more opportunities for those consumers who would like to save money on their real estate transactions. I would also like to see consumers get more encouragement to shop for the best loan option available rather than settle necessarily for the "preferred lender" of the real estate agent or builder. In my experience, preferred lenders tend to get less agressive in their rate and fee structure because they know that "preferred" means that they will probably not get shopped against other lenders or mortgage brokers.
