They all are eager to list it for sale. However, one agent we interviewed says she will list our home for sale at a 4-percent sales commission and place our listing in the local multiple listing service. Congratulations on interviewing several real estate agents to compare their experience and home-sale success. The big problem with discount agents is most cooperating agents, who have prospective buyers for your home, won't show listings with only a 2-percent commission when most other listings offer at least 3 percent. That might not seem like much difference, but we're talking thousands of dollars.
Sellers think agents earn huge commissions every week.
The truth is, it's feast or famine for most agents. Most of the others practically starve. If she can provide lots of recent seller references for you to check out, perhaps you should. We had the same difficulties. Their dishonest appraiser said our house was worth less than the four comparable, nearby home sales prices we showed to the appraiser.
