Attorney acting as buyer's agent (commission split?)
Hello! Interested in doing my first deal and acting as my own agent. I am a Texas-licensed attorney and have been advised that I can write my own offer AND receive a 3% commission from the seller as my own real estate agent. Anyone have any experience with this that they would like to share? I haven't researched this issue fully but thought discussing it here might be the most effective tool.
1. Legal?
2. Will this anger the seller's agent?
3. 3% is market?
4. Special considerations? I was told that I cannot use the 3% for the closing costs on paper (I can, of course, reimburse myself).
Thank you in advance!
