Not my problem. Never again would I use a realtor to list my house . I would be willing to pay a buyers realtor agent 2 possibly 2 and a half percent commission.
Think about all the houses that sold in a day when the market was hot and buyers were paying
over asking price . How much work did the listing agent do for $12,000 ?
