I just received this:
I am a student interested in the field of real estate. I understand that a real estate agent makes money on the sale of a property based upon a percentage of the final sale price. I was wondering how a real estate agent makes money on a lease of a rental property?
Thanks for the help, Jim

old: Why Some Buyers Snap Up Retirement Homes Early
- 12/18/13 05:02 AM
With home values falling over the past few years, some buyers are seeing a great opportunity to buy their retirement home now instead of waiting until they retire years later.
For example, in one of the largest retirement areas in the nation — Century Village in Boca Raton, Fla. — the average age of a new home buyer has dropped from the mid-70s to the low 60s in the last year. Charlie Rocque, 56, may not be ready for retirement but he already bought his retirement apartment there for $20,000 (though it was valued at around $75,000).

Abingdon Row is at the north end of Old Town Alexandria—which is well known for its 18th-Century buildings and historic colonial architecture. Abingdon Row fits nicely into the look and feel of Old Town. Abingdon Row is newly constructed, but the design takes it cues from the historical architectural details that are common to Old Town’s 18th century spirit. The columns and pilasters of Abingdon Row together with the arched windows and iron-railed terraces are all tied together by stately brickwork.

- 12/09/13 03:26 AM
Not all real estate practitioners are enthusiastic about the effectiveness of open houses, but here are five good reasons to consider holding one:
Julie sold another!
The odds are low but sometimes open houses lead to a sale. Home sellers like them. They like seeing their real estate professional working hard for them. Visitor feedback is good for sellers. Other real estate practitioners tour open houses and they sometimes produce sales. Open houses engage people, including friends and neighbors who might bring in a buyer.

- 12/09/13 03:22 AM
Just inside the entrance to the Royalton there are two separate lobby areas. One is open with large modern furniture that quite frankly sort of reminds me of some of the pieces from Pee Wee’s Playhouse. But to the right behind a pair of glass doors is a great lobby that encases some of the best of modern styling.
See all Royalton.

old: Do you know how may an appurtenant easement be terminated?
- 12/06/13 02:25 AM
An appurtenant easement can be released by the dominant estate. An appurtenant easement is also released if the necessity for the easement no longer exists. An appurtenant easement is one of two primary types of easements. The other type of easement is an easement in gross. An easement in gross is attached to a particular person but the appurtenant easement is attached to a particular parcel of land. Either of these types of easements may be created in a variety of ways (express grants, express reservation, necessity, implication, prescription, agreement, and by condemnation). Each may also be terminated in a variety … (0 comments)
