I sold a townhouse in DC using a company that listed in the MLS for a flat fee (I think it was about $200). I held my own open house and got my target price from a buyer I met there. He did have an agent but I told them I wasn’t paying any commission. The agent thought I didn’t know what I was doing and tried to sneak a commission onto the sales contract. Typical real estate agent behavior. (I had sold and bought a few houses before, using agents, so I was familiar with the process, and aware that the agents added no value.)
- nwellinghoff 3y agoBy what method did he try to sneak a commission in? What it something obscure that you have to know to look for or?
