Lulu you bring up a pretty good point. I notice that alot of FSBO sales are in that same vein. Rather then discounting the price by the commission they are saving, they end up pricing the home equivalent to comps. I never really understood that.
I used to own a Help U Sell and I had alot of experiences like you mentioned. I own my own brokerage now but I do experience the same thing. I do save people money on commissions but it is frustrating to deal with sellers who just do not seem to get it. Those that do understand the importance of pricing and truly preparing thier home for a sale, generally do sell thier home even in a deteriorating market like this one. However the majority of sellers still feel entitled to make as much as thier neighbor did in 2004. It is quite frustrating.
