The real estate agent was stunned when he heard Nyla’s commission offer to sell a house. “Ms. Jayston, are you sure the house is in Karlinan?”

He was puzzled. If Nyla had a property in Karlinan, why did she need the one–bedroom apartment he had found for her in the old neighborhood?

“Yes,” she replied. “I’ll give you the address and the code. Bring potential buyers to see it, and I’ll give you 3- % of the sale price as commission.”

Nyla knew that real estate agents typically took 1-3% of a property’s sale price as commission. Given that the fully renovated house in Karlinan could fetch around 1.1-1.2 million dollars, the agent stood to make a decent sum.

“Ms. Jayston, I have a question. If you already have a place, why did you choose to live in the old neighborhood instead of Karlinan?”

Nyla didn’t want to complicate matters, so she replied flatly, “It’s not mine. It belongs to a friend.”

“Oh, got it. Send me the address and code, and I’ll take some photos to list the property tomorrow.

“Thanks.”
