Real Estate Showing Fees

[Nick Sehy]

Hi! I’m a new investor and am curious if it is standard to get a $100 showing fee from my real estate agent when I want to see a house with him again after the initial showing. For my particular case, I want a contractor coming in to give me a bid on the house after I saw it the initial time. I could see this adding up if I need to give the realtor a fee and the contractor a fee for the bid everytime I want both of them to go out there. Would it be reasonable to ask to get this refunded if I put an offer on the house?

This isn't common in my market. The agent is probably not sure if you are a serious buyer or not.
