Got an offer earlier today on one of my listings from a Keller Williams Team Agent. They are charging the buyer with A $495.00 transaction coordinator fee plus a $50.00 Imaging Fee.

In addition to that, they are asking for the seller to pay $10,000 towards the buyers closing costs.

What few will some brokers come up with next?

Guess who will pay that $495+50?. The seller, it will come out of that $10k or whatever the seller will pay.
They do the same here. They really should be raked over the coals IMO, they are not providing additional service for that.
As a seller, I would counter that the commission amount offered to the selling broker be reduced by 495+50, if it's to come out of the sellers contribution.

Ink fee- 10 bucks. Pens do not grow on trees.

Recycling fee- 25 dollars. Its the green thing to do.

Economic Stimulas Charge- 75.00. We promise to release the money into the economy.

I have not seen these fees yet, but i'm sure they will be a coming!

That's a good one!



I have a few Carbon Credits I'd like to sell to you.
