I found web site www.brokerdirectmls.com. Would you advise to use this site if I am trying to sell my house?

as to the 'freakonomics' reference, the studies found that realtors, when selling their own home tend to keep their home on the market for a longer time period in order to get a higher price, than if they are 'representing' someone. basically it is a perverse incentive that encourages a realtor to drop the price of a clients' listing because the loss of potential commission on a 10K price drop is small; however when listing their own home, realtors will wait longer to get close to the listing price because instead of dropping 10K on their own home, they have a greater incentive to hold out for the original price.

oh well, technology, especially the internet will soon make the realtor(R) obsolete! and its good for the consumer! - Fri Jul 13 2007, 20:38

realtors and brokers are afraid of losing their grip on the MLS. commissions are negotiable. if u list FSBO, most likely u will get a bunch of realtors trying to get u to list with them. i encourage to try it on your own. I bought my first home without an agent, and it was listed for sale by owner. - Thu Jul 12 2007, 15:10
