I posted early last week if Realtors would bring people to my house because I got a realtor to do it for 4%. Well just to let the sellers out there know. I had 6 showings in one week. More than I had when it was on for 5%. Bottom line it is the price. I lowered it 20,000 im the best priced house in my neighborhood. So if your hemming an hawing over 4% to 5% I would go with the 4%.

you had the showings because you lowered the price 20k dont you think it would have been smarter to try and pay a realtor the extra 1% you were complaining about bofore lowering the price 20K? sounds like your realtor isn't advising you right.
First of all my concern was noone would show at 4% and obviously they are. So thats the point im trying to make. And to the person that said shouldnt I of not lowered it 20,000 and give the extra 1%. No because I believe lowering it 20,000 helped get 9 showings in one week. So bottom line is price matters and not the percentage. Im just telling you from my experience and my friends experience. She had 4% and her neighbor had 6% and hers got more showings and sold faster for the exact house and the exact price range. Mindy
Brandon, buyers agents get 2% and listing agent gets 2%. Mindy
Cool. If it's priced well commission won't be a deterring factor for the buyer. You may or may not have hurt yourself but we'll never know. The biggest thing you did right was drop the price 20 g's.
Hi, I live in MA and alot of realtors list at 4% out here. Mindy
I second this. 4% is not uncommon for MA. I used to get tons of junk mail from realty companies begging me to list my house for 2% (Assist to Sell) to 4%!
mindy, if your house is priced better than anybody else you will get showings, regardless of the co-broke offered. But if I was representing a buyer who agreed to pay my company more than your company offered, somebody would have to make up that gap and I would look to YOU first. If you refused, my buyer would have a decision to make because now your house is not as attractively priced as it first appeared.
