Do you still have to pay your Realtor a full commission if you find a Buyer for your house? Typically, in Naples, under the NABOR Exclusive Right to Sell Listing Agreement states you would have to pay a full commission. Finding a Buyer is only a small part of what you are paying a Realtor for. The local expertise along with legal paperwork is a larger scope of what you receive. The Mike Z Team are real estate experts in the Naples area and we know if Real Estate Sales were simple there would be no need for professional Realtors. Finding a buyer has more to do with the asking price than anything else. Once a buyer is found and an offer is made an Realtors work kicks into high gear. The offer must be reviewed and understood, there are many important terms of an offer besides offer price. The time between negotiating an offer and the close of escrow is where most of the legal liability is created, and the guidance of a professional Realtor will show you how to minimize that risk.
