Maybe it’s counterintuitive but I’d probably go the other way and hire a full-service agent. Most of us on the site agree that the path of least resistance is down. In that environment, I’d rather get the deal done ASAP.
I’d probably also throw in an extra point on the commission for a sale in the first 30 days. I’d want as much agent and buyer traffic as possible.
I’d probably also go with the agent who came up with the lowest estimate of the home’s value.
I don’t believe this is a time where you want to stagnate looking for that miracle offer.
Unless, of course, this scenario would cause you to bring a check to the settlement table that you didn’t have.
