Our friends just sold their home for asking price before it even got listed.

CougarTailDevourer Intervention Needed

Basically, word got out that they were fixing it up to sell, and then bam, offered and sold. Never even listed. Why should a realtor get 6% of that?

Huh? In this market a drunk monkey could get offers. Hire a RE attorney to manage paperwork and save $35000

If you’re in Utah, even an attorney is over kill. Ever looked over the REPC in Utah? It requires zero explanation.

Does anybody really think a real estate agent is worth $36,000 in this market?

I wouldn’t call that a below average neighborhood

A realtor can be worth it to price the house right. But very few know how
