Referrals from past clients are definitely a good idea. Besides the inattention to detail I find in flat fee guys, I know way to many ex-flat fee guys (and gals). UR and SD R are more proof. IMO, its a lousy business model and i have yet to meet someone that has been successfully doing it for more than a couple years.

Why is that?

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.

I have actually seen brokers shut down their agents’ deals because of a below market (market being 2.5%-4%) CBB.

Further, if agents form a collective negative opinion about a listing, it will discourage other agents from showing that listing. They (we) talk like a sewing circle.
