My companion and I are looking for an apartment, but do not have a broker. Prefer to view apartments on our own schedule. If we find one we like and make an offer without a broker can I as an attorney (admitted in NY) claim a 3% broker fee since attorneys are automatically brokers? Or should I use that leverage with the selling broker for a possible reduction in price (from his commission, say 1-2%)? Or should I just get a broker for the purchase and forget any cost savings? Thanks in advance for all comments.
