If it's exclusive, they may need to get paid no matter who the procuring cause for the sale.

Seller is free to go procure those services independently but many people dont know how or why or where to start so they just dont.At any rate that is what I was looking for concrete examples of wholesale deals because I'm trying to understand the size and specifics of an overall market.It sounds like wholesaling is just part of the overall transactional market, the niche is that the property isn't general market ready for a multitude of reasons.I'm not encouraging it.

Well, there IS a difference between showing a property to someone and being the procuring cause.  

When we received feedback that your daughter wasn't satisfied with our efforts to help her with her problem, we offered to offset her cost to procure her own equipment, despite not being required to do so.I can certainly understand why a student (or anyone for that matter) would want all of their devices to work.

I would say the average is typically 10% and first months rent for tenant procurement.

My managing broker and I are floored, as the numbers are telling us this could be the most lucrative flip yet.My question for you all is this: On the previous 3, because she has been the one to procure the deal, purchase the deal, and then resell the remodeled home, I have been paid on an hourly basis to manage/work on the properties.

I'm in contract to procure an investment duplex in Columbus, OH.

@Manny Cirino it obviously sounds like a procuring cause case....and you should entitled to the commission in the contract plus you have an expiration clause....might be worth it to legally receive your due commish!!
