You know what Connie, your question goes to show us that we Realtors are not doing a good job to show you what the 6 or 7% gets you. So that's a great question and I am sorry you have not been explained what that fee enables you to do in the end.
First off you should look upon that fee as an investment not an expense. Basically after a lot of work and sharing that 6 or 7% 4 ways , yes, you heard me right. It is often 4 ways you have sold your property and can move on with your life's dreams.
Connie, I don't know what you do for a living. Perhaps you own your business, perhaps you get paid every other week.
I can tell you that unless a Realtor actually closes a sale, there is no compensation for the work that went into it. So there is a risk involved for us that work that way. Anytime there is a risk, there has to be a better compensation.
Perhaps you should sit down with your Realtor and examine the reasons why you don't have the expected results yet. Marketing is certainly important and today that is online. In the end though, if the price is not right any marketing is for naught.
Good Luck!
