Realtor asking for a higher commission

[Bill Plymouth]

Hey everyone.  I’m curious to hear your thoughts.  I’m in talks with a guy selling his investment property.  I would be listing it.  The property will go for about 55k tops.  Obviously Small price equals small commissions.  I’m thinking about asking for a higher commission, around 7-8%.  How would you feel if a realtor wanted you to pay a higher commission on a smaller priced property?

I would look for another realtor.

If you wouldn't be happy with the 2.5% - 3% commission, then why list it?

Pass it on to some young, hungry, upstart who needs a listing to jumpstart their career.
