Virtually all homes sold by the non listing agent are 2.5%. It does not matter if you use (insert your favorite here) realtor or mine the selling agent gets the same.

So is more expensive better? If you need hand holding yes. That covers most sellers particularly those that are prone to posting here. If you don't then, yes cheaper is better, to the tune of thousands of dollars.
