Just to show you that not all media is bad ... I was listening to a Podcast by a national talk radio host who nailed it ...
A caller had called about using a "Listing Service" on the Internet to save the listing commission and was willing to pay a buyer agent. Here are the points he listed:
1) About 20% of the real estate agents are worth their commission
2) Agents are there to make the deal go through smoothly and avoid the problems that consumers do not think about
3) Good Agents are there to NEGOTIATE for YOURBEST INTEREST ... Buyers Agents that see FSBO or un-represented listings are often thinking that they can negotiate a better price.
His final comments are to use agents that are experts in the neighborhood (actual experts, not self-appointed)
although he did not mention it directly, he talked about using those that really no your area ... http://www.cnsdesignation.com/
