I think the statistics were also that real-estate agents houses also stay on the market longer than other houses. Which also agrees with what you're saying. Essentially they can maybe make 6% of 20-50k more but it would require weeks more work on their part so it's not nearly as big a deal to the agent as it is to the owner.
