Fully agree. Another option would be to add some incentive structure. If I know I can selly home for $200k myself and you sell it for $200k...your value to me was basically $0. If you can sell it for $300k, then I'd be pretty happy to give you a nice chunk of that. 6% no matter what is crazy.
- roflyear 3y agoYou can sell your house yourself, though? You don't need to use a realtor.
- 7thaccount 3y agoYes, but it is a bit of work. I wouldn't mind using a realtor for their experience in the field, but 6% is absolutely bonkers for most normal house purchasing processes. Their work simply isn't that valuable and is being kept at that level due to non-competitive practices. If the realtor just shows me the home and does a little negotiating and some paperwork for me....maybe $2k at most for that service, but $12k for a $200k house? Ridiculous.
