I'd be willing to bet if you talked to someone local (again, don't concern yourself with TV recommendation) you could write the $250 into your agreement if you listed it with them.

Personally, I couldn't be bothered with doing my house via FSBO. I want someone to sort thru the potential buyers and, most importantly to me, will negotiate price for me. I'd probably tell off too many buyers with lower than I want offers, where a realtor should be able to remain dispassionate.

I don't see the value in someone hundreds or thousands of miles away making a recommendation. It has more to do with business relationships between the companies than quality of the agents, or ability to sell. Maybe try one of the larger local realtors?
