I've bought and sold a few "fixers", and have gone to foreclosure autions, looked in the paper, county tax lien sales, yada yada....
But the houses I've actually bought have been through my realtor. I hope she sticks around for the long haul. She has her fingers on the pulse of the market so much better than I ever could. When I list a home with her, she nails the listing price every time. Starts out a couple grand high, and if it is not sold in a couple weeks, drops a couple grand, and it always sells pretty quickly. Never quicky enough to think we listed too low and left money on the table, but always several lookers, and an offer or two withing a few weeks.
In my opinion, she is worth her commission. She makes me money, and deserves to be compensated for it.
