Assignment Fee

[Belinda D.]

Hi BP Family,

I believe in being open and honest with sellers about my assignment fee.
I have not done my 1st deal as yet. I plan on telling sellers that if the final sales price (to the investor or retail buyer) is higher than the sellers negotiated price (with me) then sellers will receive 50% of the excess amount minus my assignment fee (which will be capped at 10K)

My reasoning for doing this is because:
1. I don't want the sellers to think I am taking advantage of them.
2. someone told me that if I do receive a large assignment fee i.e. 20K-50K,
then sellers might sue me.
3. I think offering them 50% of the excess amt will give them the incentive to
sign the purchase and sales agreement

As far as I know double closings are not legal in Canada and again I want full disclosure with sellers. So how do I handle earning a large assignment fee without feeling guilty?

Both parties are important. The only people that get away with screwing over one party in favor of another are attorneys, that's thier job, not ours. :)
