Mr. & Mrs. Seller, I Have Already Reduced My Commission 50%! And You Want More?

Mr. & Mrs. Seller, I Have Already Reduced My Commission 50%!  And You Want More?

 

I heard this request again yesterday!  It usually begins something like this.  “My house has lost so much and you want me to sell for even less.  I have this much invested and I NEED this much.  You need to reduce your commission.” 

My response.  You know Mr. & Mrs. Seller, I also feel your pain.  My home is worth less than one-half of what I paid for it 6 years ago.  However, the bank has not reduced its principal or interest rate.

 

So I can understand how you feel, now that your home is worth one-half as well.  But because you home is worth one-half, my commission has reduced by one-half.

 

However, did my costs decrease by one-half?  No!  Unfortunately almost all my costs have increased, especially the cost of gas to show buyer’s your home!

 

I know times are tough if you are a home seller.  But trust me, times are tough for me your Realtor® as well.  I am working much harder, and making less than half of what I made a few years ago.  That is not your fault and it is not my fault either.

 

Let’s just sign the contract Mr. & Mrs. Seller, so we can get your house sold and move on with your lives.
