Would you use the same real estate to buy a property and sell your own? We are wondering if the real estate agent will be more motivated if we sell with them to close a sale to assist in purchase? Thank you!

Well that explains the lower valuationthird agent has a commission which rises to 1.5 if the house sells for 50k over the asking..
Personally id be reluctant to go with the family friend unless you were clear on what they had to offer regarding advertisement of property, experience selling similar properties etc. Think about how long they are in the business, if house may need natuonal exposure can they do that, do they have support people to deal with enquiries etc.We have a choice of 3 real estate agents.
The first EA is well established and is selling the house we wish to buy. They seem fine (they're a chain of EA) but we were wondering if it would be best to separate the two transactions out. We would be one of a number of properties they have on their books.
We also have a family friend (an estate agent) who is very motivated to help us sell but not sure what he's really like on the business end...We know he would put us first but we've never seen him in action.
The 3rd EA came recommended and focuses a lot on house staging.. he priced our home the lowest of the three.
Not much difference in commission. The third agent has a commission which rises to 1.5 if the house sells for 50k over the asking..
Thank you for the responses. Great to get thoughts here.
