I'm kind of looking for a place in NYC for my princess. I was looking for a "no fee" (as if nots built in the price somewhere) agent.
After all in NYC, does a large building in a hot spot or nice building really need a broker. No. So you find someone to show you around BUT before you do, you sign a contract for you to pay them (the agent) a 15% fee (of the total lease). So twice now I've had someone show me all kinds of places - but no sale. Yesterday I had someone show me a couple places "no fee" or paid by the management company. But, needless to say, I had to make a decision right there. So now I am looking at a site called "skipbroker.com" . Another example. Look at Madison Marquette. They now own Wesley Grove. They have or will hire a receptionist or two with a real estate license and pay them a salary maybe with a bonus and try to sell out Wesley Grove = more or less avoiding commissions to brokers/agents (not to say they won't pay a fee - not sure) - but they hold a NJ Broker's lic and therefore, keep it in house as much as possible. But 1/2 of the comm goes back to them. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
