[QUOTE=shaw8700@outlook.com;2451561]You have to think about advertising costs, costs for signage, open houses etc. . . Money has to be up somewhere. With listing agents having to give 3% to selling agents, and then splitting with their brokers according to the agreements they have, it doesn’t leave much for the LA. And you can’t forget about the costs that the inspection has.

Yes, I was agent for many years and it’s tough to make a living, especially for new agents.[/QUOTE

A good agent is always there for you and your home. A discount agent is not much more than a paper pusher.
