Capt_JMJ: What $190,000 will buy you in Honolulu

Good point, Capt.

On the $190,000 "condo" below, the selling broker collects 1/4 of 6% (11,400) ... or $2,850 ... just for signing off on a piece of paper. How long does that take? About 2 seconds.

Notice the square footage ... 402 sq ft! Oh, and no parking (LOL).

Ken, when you pull in 6 or 7% of the selling price for walking around, waving your arms, and commenting on how nice all the various features are, you would be pumping the process also. I wish more builders and sellers would realize that they don't *need* a realtor to sell their houses. Just make sure things are in good repair, price it right, and the house will sell itself. You can give the buyers a discount, and if they come with a realtor, let them pay the realtor with their savings. If more people did that, buyers wouldn't use them quite so freely either.
