I have been in sales all of my life and have never been a realtor. Let me tell you a little story.

Several years ago I had a salesman who worked for me that was trying to sell his house that was listed at 6%. He was going to reduce the price of the home because there were very few showings of his home. I suggested that he raise the realtor fee to 8% rather than lower the price. He had many showings and sold the home.

Many times I have raised the commision on a particular item and many times the item was sold because it was always shown first rather than last.

Sometimes the cheapest deal isn't the best.
