Commission or discount ?
I'm currently looking at a house in Queens new York for about 725k , looking to house back . The dilemma I have on my hands is since I am a realtor and will be representing myself I can either take a 1.5% commission which is about 11k , or I can not take a commission and would get about a 10k discount . Getting the house to 715k . If I take the commission it will be $9250 after splitting with my broker . Which option would you take and why ?
Also would you not get the deal over 10-15k ? Although 725k is not a bad price , I was looking to get it for 710-715k even without giving up my commission , would that difference be worth losing the house ?
