Have a look at the number of properties up for sale and how long they are taking to sell in “the Chase” the last subdivision out that way.

Some good tips but I don’t fully agree with point Number 1 or 2.
Usually companies that charge other costings apart from commission will have a lower commission price, so can provide a cheaper service overall. They also usually have better advertising, whether that be larger adds in the local paper or priority listings on…[Read more]

I dont know the answers to your questions but I would suggest having a chat to the agent about it. Ask them to query the owner.
