Ours was at 6%. These guys were pretty good about marketing, and the owner of the agency lives next door... He had a vested interest in finding a good neighbor, lol.

If we ever sell again (Which I hope never happens), we might try doing it ourselves. Just too damn expensive!

I sometimes wish I would have tried to sell myself... But, I didn't want to deal with the broom on every little nitpick thing. The realtors earned this one in dealing with her.

It can be tough...but...the houses were in a town with very low taxes. I've also got a guy very interested in my father's house...if I can get my free loading brother a place to live!!!

Current realtor asking price around here is 6%...just ask and they'll drop to 5%...work them over a bit and you can get 4%.

Not much competition around here, they have a good racket going.

Just makes me sick how much I've paid out in the last 6 years, then to only sell for $10K more than I bought it for... really sucks. I think I'll stay out of real estate for a while.
