Realtor service for a single listing.
Hi,
We are FTHB in GTA and after being to a few Open Houese, have located a property we would like to make an offer on. We are currently not working with a realtor as our initial game plan was to negotiate directly with the sellers agent in order to help bring down the purchase price.
I am confident with my negotiating skills and a fairly good idea on what I am going to be offering for the house, however admittedly a bit naive about the whole process.
Wondering if I should just cut a deal with a realtor to do the paperwork and have him represent us during the negotiation, just for this one assignment only and pay them in lieu a pre agreed flat fee for their services.
Has any one tried this approach and can provide feedback?
Will a realtor even agree to take temporary assignment such as this?
How much should I pay them for their services? Is $500, $1000 or $2000 good enough?
Thanks in advance.
