Question

Can you sell your house directly to a buyer if you already have a real estate broker?

Answer 1

NO NOT REALLY BECAUSE IF YOU DO YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY HIM THE COMMISSION.

LIKE<IF HE > SHELL THE HOUSE!!!!

Answer 2

I think that depends on the type of contract you have with the broker. You can sell it yourself usually but still have to pay the commission unless you have that clause written into your contract allowing you to try to sell yourself.

Answer 3

i dont think so, you did enter a contract with your agent

Answer 4

Yes, but he can sue you for the commission fees if you have a contract signed with him.

Answer 5

read your contract with the broker

Answer 6

to answer this question " we" need to know what kind of listing is it ??  IF you signed an Exclusive listing bend over and prepare to be screwd

Answer 7

Yes, it is possible. We have listed with a broker who will only take 3% if another Realtor sells it, 2% if she and her office sells it, and 0% if we sell to someone who comes without a Realtor. She has been able to get more showings for us than the broker we had for 6 months who only got us 5 showings. She's been with us only about a month and we have had about 6 buyers come. She brought two even before we gave her the listing.

These Realtors are out there. You need to do the research. In our area the market really is slow and Realtors are finally realizing a low commission is better than no commission. If we sell on our own we probably will give her a token of our appreciation in the form of a monetary gift. Also, she has been super and we probably will recommend her to others!

Look around. You may be able to find one like this.

Good luck.

Answer 8

No -- you have entered into a "contract" with your broker and selling directly would be illegal, not to mention unethical.
