I recently lost out on a FSBO I had been working for some time. I found out the realtor had offered a cut rate commission. That's when I realized that this is what the owner wanted the whole time. Seems he never caught or bought the expense I had just to market his home. He didn't want to hear he was to high priced to begin with just what was I going to cost him.
the home hasn't sold as of today and I don't know if it will but I worry about the precedent this agent is creating in the area. In the future is veveryone going to cut their commission. Is that what it's going to take. I think you are hurting not only yourself but every realtor in the business. we have to make a living and while doing that we need to show our clients that we work hard for it. Too many clients think we just work a couple of hours a day and make handsome livings. This is our fault and we need to impress on our clients what we do and can do for them.
Thanks
