I wanted to explain some of the myths and confusion that sellers and buyers seem to encounter when dealing with "us" real estate agents. I know it is not always easy to understand our world - but I hope I can put an end to some of the fuzzy areas. These are some actual questions/statements I have received from buyers and sellers: 1) "If I go to the listing agent- I will save on the real estate commission." - FALSE - You will NOT save any money if you go directly to the agent listing the house. You will pay the same amount of commission (3 comments)
