I think that there are realtors who will list your house for 4 percent, but 3 percent goes to the selling agent. So, other agents have no reason not to show the house. The only difference is that the listing agent will not invest as much money in marketing your house. But, the house is added to the MLS system and marketed by internet web sites like Zillow. Whenever I have listed a house, I pay full commission, but negotiate a good marketing plan, and require the listing contract to allow me to fire the agent if they are not doing a good job. You should ensure that the listing agent earns whatever commission they charge, and not just collect 3 percent when the house is sold by another agent.
