There is a difference between a Realtor and a real estate salesman or, for that matter, a developer's agent.

However, they all have one thing in common and that is to sell property and one way to move property faster is to price it low. The top sales person in a large Realtor's office in another city used that as a selling tool. She earned a slightly smaller commission per sale but she outsold every other real estate sales person in the area.
I am a former licensed Florida real estate broker. Would I sell my own house or list it with a broker? Frankly I don't know. I could only give an answer if and when the situation occurs. There are many too considerations.
