because i said so
In the early days of parenting, my husband and I decided that we would keep the “Because I said so” card close to the vest when it came to the inevitably repeated phrase “why?” from our child. We wanted to appeal to our child’s curiosity with logic, explanations and paths to detailed resources BEFORE we had to bring out the heavy-guns of the “Because I said so”.
A recent article coverage of government fees and the water board, makes me think that in the past when it came to fee hikes when we asked the company or entity Why?, they had simply replied “because we said so”. Interesting how now Cameron Smyth’s legislative endeavor to have a ‘truth-in-fee hike” seems to be a logical and transparent breath of fresh air.
This time of personal and legislative expense management has called into question for any fee charge as we ALL are now are asking WHY? To everyone out there, better check your record, as folks will not be satisfied if your ‘because I said so” card has been overplayed.
What does this have to do with Real Estate in the Santa Clarita Valley?
There are commission fees associated with every real estate transaction. Commissions are negotiable. Seller pays a commission, which part of that commission is then offered from listing broker to selling broker. In general, the buyers pay no commission fees to their broker. Be aware of “additional commission fees” or “additional fees” of any sort that you may see on your contract. If you do see additional fees that you must pay as a buyer, ask your agent and the broker why?
Do not be satisfied with “because I said so.”
Leah Pollack and Triple D Realty DOES NOT Charge Any Additional Fees. Our company is Commission based ONLY.
