If you list with a MLS broker (for no more than 120 days) and you house doesn't sell. You may want to employ a strategy I used to sell our previous home.

When the MLS brokers listing expires you will get a call from every broker within 50 miles to you them for a new listing. Since the commission was 5% when on MLS I offered the brokers 3% sellers commission if they brought me a buyer.

The house sold in 45 days and I was happy to write the check to the selling broker.
