Meewan "Kay" Lee's Q&A

There is not a standard rate, but the ongoing rate is about 6%, half of which goes to the buyer's agent.  Try not to use "discount brokers" who offer less than 5%  as they provide discounted service and try to get their own buyer so they can earn the entire commission. They will block other agents from bringing in a buyer to the table.

Any time there is a deed transfer, it gets recorded with the county and becomes public record. So no, sales history can not be removed.

Do you mean that the new description is not showing? The changes show instantly, so maybe you did not "save" the changes?

How is the property tax rate calculated in Chicago? What is the annual rate?

99.9% scam. I get calls from prospective tenants on almost all my rental listings, asking if it's true that they have to wire money to a foreign country to get the keys. The scam artists get a hold of the listings and make it look like their own. Usually on Craigslist, though. The rents is usually advertised way below market. 

Your best bet is to have a realtor search comparable homes that sold in 2008 and compare that with today's market.  MLS has the data that goes back several years, so it will be a quick, easy search.

Under the photo, there is an edit button. click on it and click on "claim this listing". Another option is to go to edit button, click on "report a problem", and click "incorrect listing agent".zillow will take care of it. Hope this helps.

You can do it by clicking "edit" under the photo, click "report problems", and click "property not for rent". I just did that for you.Zillow will investigate the property and make proper changes.
