How can I pay realtor’s fee ; no cash. Suggestions? - Posted by Anne

Posted by Anne on August 17, 2000 at 12:27:29:

I want to purchase a house with little or no money down. The house is listed with a realtor.

If I can assume the first mortgage and get the Seller to carry a second mortgage for the balance on a note that balloons in two years, how does the Realtor get paid?

Perhaps he could be convinced to carry his fee on a note with interest that balloons in two years as well? If so, does the Seller pay that and I pay the Seller the monthly interest?

This is in Tulsa; anyone know whether realtors there are willing to do this? Or other creative ideas?

What options are there for this kind of deal.

House priced about $100,000

I also assumed the first mortgage, seller held a small second, and I paid the realtor’s commission in ten monthly payments (at zero interest). Everyone was happy.

Ask…you might be pleasantly surprised. Good luck.

If the realtor wants to sell the property badly enough, they’ll take a note with NO interest. This is exactly what I got an agent to agree to recently.
