Sold my house a number of years ago in good market in a very good neighborhood. The MLS and the realtors are in collision to undersell your house. I would never do it again. Get a good discount broker that does it for like 3-4%.
From what I gather from the agents who did call me, they have "compensated" for the shit sales numbers by increasing the commission numbers on the new sales, some agents were quoting close to 5% - 7% commission on a sale, which is insane, given general house prices are going down not up
I would say you didn't not find a good one then, keep looking. The fsbo market I am sure was only created for realtors and corporations to sell to themselves, and they opened it up to the common goyem to screw them.
To be clear, you need to find a full service discount broker. In this market, they should exist wherever you are.
