Contrary to what most think most agents work hard and get paid very infrequently closing only a 2 to 4 transactions a year. Given the choice of showing numerous homes particularly in this price range, the home with at least 2.5% will get far more showing. While offering 3% is extra incentive to buyers agent, offering 2% is starting with one foot in the grave. Getting paid 2% or less is like taking a very substantial pay cut. Like it or not, its not in your best interests as a homeseller to do so.
