Can I just pay a real estate agent per hour instead? That solves the problem of me deciding to not buy a house from them later.

- runako 9y agoI tried this when purchasing my last house. I offered a pretty hefty hourly fee, knowing full well there's no way the hourly fees would approach 3% of the transaction. IIRC the response was essentially that they are prohibited from doing so by their Realtor organization (?). This was in Georgia.
- jrs235 9y agoThat's dependant on your state (state laws) and the broker. I know of a broker that offers showings at $50 per hour.
