Realtor Commission

[CA renter]

[quote=sdrealtor]Yes that is what I meant. As a selelr you dont want to disadvantage yourself by offering below market compensation to buyers agents which should be 2.5% (3% isnt necessary). Most agents only do 1 to 4 transactions a year so every penny counts to them. Alot of buyers will be well educated and drag their agents to the homes they find online but not all buyers are. as a seller, trying to save yourself a couple thousand dollars by offering less could cause you to miss out on a buyer who might be willing to pay many times m ore than what you saved. The truth is the uneducated buyers seeing properties their agents choose tend to be from out of area and are the ones most likely to overpay. You dont want to be that buyer but as a seller you want that to be your buyer. As a buyer you will frustrated by the high comps buyers like that will set but as a seller would you turn down one of those buyers who was willing to give you an extra $10,000?[/quote]

That is a fact.

Almost without exception, the “head-scratcher” purchases (paid WAY TOO MUCH) are made by people who are from somewhere else, are entirely uninformed, and rely 100% on what their realtor tells them.

Frustrated Buyer

I kinda figured you would weigh in on this one CAR. But as a seller, any reasonable person would want to maximize their profits. You might say you wouldnt but then flip it over and look at the other side. As a buyer you want to minimize your outlay which is essentially the same from viewed from the other side.

i didn’t like my agent at all by the end, in fact I effin hated him, but I may have overwhelmed him with my intensive assholeness. I wasn’t nice to him. I used redfin and got the discount. i feel he earned his fee. Stuck with me quite a while, listened to a lot of crap, didn’t really help with the situation, and maybe gave me bad advice at one juncture, but maybe i was beyond help. I don’t begrudge the guy his commission.

if i were a seller, I’d probably be willing to pay a greater commission if i thought the agent kicked ass. in fact, just given my limited experience, i’d probably focus less on finding the cheapest realtor than with finding whoever i perceived to be the best. by best i mean most successful, smoothest, busiest, smartest and, well, all around caginess.

same with a lawyer.

it’s weird how small differences in ability can make a big difference in result.
