Hi Veronica,

Yes, we are happy with that. Thank you for the compromise on this one.And I would love to have a further conversation about working further with you.29/11/24 From: 0485957772 To: 0403327792 ( Melissa Schembri) - 25 Glenn Vista Place, Chevallum QLD 4555

29/11/24Hi Melissa, I understand however would you accept 13%? Regards, Veronica (WhichRealEstateAgent)

29/11/24 Hi Veronica, can you please confirm that you are happy with 12.5% referral fee, as this property is not new to market and will be a lot of hard work to get marketing when they have already spent $45,000 with the previous agent. We are happy to pay full 20% on new listings and would love to chat with you further regarding this. ( Melissa Schembri) EmaIl

29/11/24 As per our conversation - 25 Glenn Vista has been on the market since 2022 with considerable money spent on marketing. Which will make our job so much harder. It is different to a fresh lead. ( Melissa Schembri) SMS

We would normally be very happy to pay a 20% commission for referrals but in this circumstance we were offering 12.5%.

At Sothebys, we have director fees that we have to pay to New York and our QLD CEO on each commission. Can you please confirm you are happy with this, as the email that came through stated 20%.

06/01/25 Geez this is going to get very messy, it turns out that the vendor had already had Paul and Carol the CEO of Sotheby's out before they went with Ray White. Melissa has said that she did not know this until the Vendor told her and it was before Ray White, Melissa has said that as a pre existing she would still like to give us something as we made the extra introduction and re enforced that Sotheby's is who she should go with. Melissa will have to pay Paul and Carol commission also as they made the initial appraisal with the vendor. What do you think? vw
