Real Estate Agent Recs: Esp. w/ Flat Fee MLS Listings?
DH and I are trying to build a new home, but we have a 'house to sell' contingency on our contract. We have a 2 BR 2 BA condo in NKY that we need to sell and since we haven't had it that long (3 1/2 years) and because of the market, we will be lucky if we break even on the place.
We're trying to avoid having to pay a full commission to an agent (6-7%) and trying to look into those Flat Fee MLS agencies because from what I understand you pay a flat listing fee, then up to 3% at closing depending on who finds the buyer. Which would save us a few grand.
Can you tell me some of your recommendations? We'd like to get a full-service agent to do showings/open houses and list it on NKY MLS and I've found a couple, but wanted to see what recs you girls might have.
TIA!

Wow, that sounds terrible. I'm sorry you guys had to go through all of that. Thanks for sharing your experience. I found out some interesting things myself about those places so I think we'll go the traditional route afterall. Thanks!
