IM NEW BUT IM NOT A AGENT.

I HAVE A SCENARIO...

My neighbor wants to sell his home. I know someone looking for a home. He says he’s willing to pay me a 5,000.00 fee, if I put the deal together. I’m not a licensed real estate broker. It is ok since I’m not charging a percentage commission?

No difference b/w a flat fee ot a % if that is your question. Compensation can be in Gazoos or lightbulbs or dollars.

Is it legal? Consult an attorney. Is it wise? I say no. What are you going to do for your fee? Do you know what you are doing? Who are they going to blame when things go wrong, and they will. Who do you work for? If the buyer and seller go different ways, will you still be able to be on good terms with them? Things for you to consider.

You can not sell real estate if you are not licensed, just find different reason to take the money, may be as marketing consultant etc.
