I would be willing to list with a full priced agent, but I want them to provide a written marketing plan that they would need to implement, and I would require them to allow me to terminate their contract if I lose confidence in them. Also, if they bring you an offer that is less than full price, you have the option to renegotiate the commission at that time. The stated commission is only applicable when the buyer pays the full listing price, which doesn't usually happen. So, you can agree to a 5 or 6 percent commission, but it is only legally enforceable when the seller gets the full listing price.
