Sounds like they avoided the 4-7% realtor commissions.


Yeah, here in the UK one of my friends bought his home off another of my friends. A third friend practices commercial property law, so she's insured to buy and sell property and did all their paperwork at mates rates. (Her employer buys her insurance, but it's personal insurance, so it covers her off-the-clock work too)

Big saving all round.


I laughed at an old fashioned estate agent who wanted 1.2% to sell my house. Realtor prices in the US seem shockingly excessive. I guess it explains how Modern Family live such a nice lifestyle I guess.
