Maybe you have "DISPOSABLE INCOME"? or you may like the listing agent sooo much that you want to buy them a new car? Today’s technology has streamlined the marketing of homes; TRULIA.com for example is only two years old. Buyer brokers way of business remains unchanged; they still drive buyers from home to home while investing an enormous amount of time and resources into the assistance of.
Listing agents, c’mon… Once they have the sign in your yard when do you ever hear from them again? Usually to reduce the price of your home, WHY? Because they are paid a commission with limited time to get your home sold! Which makes you think who’s best interests are they really looking out for?
I hired a commission based realtor which could not get my home sold (even after numerous “attempts” to lower my price). Once I was free of that contract, which by the way I was not allowed to cancel early. I hired a flat fee broker who sold my home for the amount “I wanted” which saved me about 40% off brokerage fees! The service was better, and the Experience was well above the crowd from what I previously experienced as I was dealing with a broker vs. a sales agent. - Wed Oct 10 2007, 08:15
