We are also looking for a residential care home to rent in the DFW (North Texas area) with a 5 year lease and 1st request to buy if the owner wants to sell. 

Hi everyone, We are working of doing our first flip and need a realtor to sell the property (market it, put it on MLS etc) once we are done with the work. Our current agent wants to charge us 7% to sell the property for us and represent us only as the seller. I think that's too high. Please let me know if you have any realtors in the DFW market who aren't going to charge higher than 3% to sell the property. The property is in Desoto Texas. Regards, Harriet

Good information. We have been finding our own deals and calling etc so I think we will be changing our strategy to make sure we aren't overpaying for our realtor fees.

I never thought about the finders fee like that!! Thank you for your response and we will definitely get it out in the contract so we aren't paying it directly. I will also discuss discounts on future deals because We want to continue working with her. Is there a range you have for investors?

Michael Hayworth Thank you for your response! I appreciate the information!

Hi everyone, I am working on securing my first deal in the DFW area. I have a realtor who is charging me 5.5% for selling the property once the fix and flip is done. Talking to other investors, they say this fee is too high even for the DFW market. She also asks for a finders fee for off market deals. Can anyone give me a range of what they pay for realtor fees or finders fee? Regards, Harriet

@Dave Visaya Thank you! @Kevin Wang I will be reaching out to you

@Dmitriy Fomichenko Thank you!

Jibran Najmi Thank you!! I will definitely check this out!

Hi everyone, I am not really a newbie to bigger pockets but I am a newbie as an investor! I have been researching, reading, listening to podcasts and following different discussion on bigger pockets and other forums for the past year and a half. I am finally ready to pull the trigger since information without action is useless. I live in the DFW area and looking to do fix and flips to get cash flow for commercial rentals. I have partnered up with two other people and we are excited to start the process in a few weeks. If there are any other newbies or investors in the DFW area that are willing to meet up or share any advice in this market, feel free to reach out to me. Also if there are any realtors etc, contact me or send me any properties you may have on your list. I am nervous, terrified but really excited to start the process and put all this knowledge to good use. I am sure there are tons more I'll learn while doing the fix and flips but I am ready!! Harriet
