Selling Our Condo

**Maria Terese Jimenez** · 04-29-2008, 11:06 PM

My husband and I are considering in selling our secondary property in North Brunswick, NJ (Condo) that we've rented for nearly 2 years. But we are trying to find the most cost effective solution in selling our property. Meaning either finding a real state agent with low commission rates, and or posting our property on the web. Foxtons was suppose to be our ultimate solution for a 2% commission rate but it was quite disappointing to find that they had already filed for chapter 11. What are our best options towards this approach? We feel that going through a real state agent would the best choice, but where can we find a good commission rate for this route?

Commissions are negotiable. I suggest you contact some local agents that are still in business and see what they can do for you.

Let's say this:
You are a car dealership salesperson.
This morning, your boss told you that they are 2 identical mercedes on the parking lot that need to go.
One is a 500SL with options ABC. It's BLUE
The other one is a 500SL with options ABC. It's RED
You boss tells you that if you sell the BLUE one, you'll get $10,000 commission on the sale. The car is priced at $75,000
And he says that if you sell the RED one, you'll get $2,000 commisson on the sale. The RED car price is $75,000

Now, a guy is coming and ask to buy a 500SL with the options ABC. He gets $75,000 in his pocket.

What car are you tempting to push and sell??

Local agents are big help on issues like this I really believe that having them to help you will be great as Jim said commissions are negotiable. So win/win situation there.
