<<OTOH, 6% of a very expensive property is a lot of dough. I think we'll rapidly see that drop to 3%. It never made sense to me that the listing agent gets paid half because they honestly don't do shit in most cases. I think the Internet based services will kill the 6% commission once and for all.>> The Real Estate industry is frantically trying to hold off the future and keep their jobs, even though they're being proved unneeded by services such as Zillow. Zillow.com ( Or Realtor.com ) makes it easy to locate all the comparables in your neighborhood, and set a reasonable price. You can learn about staging by reading about it on the internet. There are listing services that get you listed for a fee, then, you'll BE on Realtor.com. The only thing a Realtor adds is showing the property, which is kind of a hassle, but hardly worth 3 or 6% of the selling price. Realtors might be valuable if it's the first house you've bought or sold, and part of that value is showing you how not worth it they are! Realtor is the profession for those who can't do OR teach!
