They charge a fee 2-4% higher than a real estate broker? I understand that is typically 6%, so do these guys charge 8-10%? What's the motivation to sell my home to these guys?

As someone who spent a lot of time in academia and did some teaching of my own, your professors must have loved you. It was always so gratifying when somebody actually cared. Emailing and asking for feedback? That's awesome!
