[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 732563, member: 18958"] Nomad. While law might change state by state, I believe where I am commission is capped at 6 percent. I would not advise he pay an increased commission. At most, actual costs, and an hour or two max, to make arrangements. There are really only two steps involved. Remove stuff. Pest control. Oh yeah. Deep cleaning and painting and minor repairs if it is cost effective. Realtors have relationships with people that do these things. The costs are taken off the top in escrow. In my mind there is no need what so ever to pay for anything except the actual services. I would not volunteer. I would present it like this. The property needs junk hauled, pest control prior to being shown, deep cleaning and possibly, painting and minor repairs at realtor's discretion (if they believe such will generate substantially more money), depending upon cost and approval by the owner. I would not offer extra money. Let them ask. If anything, it should not be more than $100 to $200 over and above actual costs of services for which there will be invoices. The commission could be many thousands of dollars, depending upon where the property is. To me, the commission could well cover it. [/QUOTE]
