I agree with the comments that are subsequent to your offer. Your commentary really lends itself to backing up stereotypes that have developed in our industry.
By putting CBB as one of the more important parameters in consideration of selling a home, you are reinforcing the old boy network.
Why should a buyers agent care what the CBB is? If a buyers agent is TRULY DOING HIS JOB which is finding a home for his client then HE SHOULD BE BLIND to the CBB.
Again, you seemed to be blind to what I stated in previous posts. That is pricing your home, visiting the competition that is local to you and making sure your home is more appealing and/or priced better then that local competition, and making sure your home has been made to look good, then you have positioned your home as well as you can.
Do you have hard stats for how many sales open houses generate?
Do you have hard stats for how many sales your brokers tours have generated?
Do you have hard stats for how many sales your marketing efforts have generated?
For my brokerage, 100% of my sales have been due to the MLS, Realtor.com, or drive bys. To justify 3% on each side of a real estate transaction for tools that are outdated and have not changed for 30 years is simply not fair.
As long as there are agents and realtors like yourself, my brokerage will continue to flourish.
