the problem I experienced was that some realtors would not show my house because I didn't list with a listing realtor but I was listed on MLS and all the top listing sites. the realtors will bad mouth and not show homes that are listed on flat fees.
I saved thousands of dollars all it cost me was four hundred to be listed on all websites
and 2 1/2 per cent to their agent.

Do you think it took more time than it would have otherwise?

I think I may try it when we get back here in April. In the height of the season houses were selling in 3 to 10 days. But who knows what next year will bring. A house down the street went on the market and was shown 15 times in the first two days and had a bidding war. So if some of the realtors don't want to show it then they are not acting in their clients best interest, they would also be turning their back on a huge commission as they would still get the 3% buyer bit.
