[quote=Anonymous]I recently sold my condo (300k range) and have also been looking to purchase. My previous realtor was not very good for when I was searching. He never had comps, he didn't have strategies for bidding, etc. So I am glad I dumped him for when I was ready to sell. The agent I found was recommended through a friend. She has been an agent for many years and has a good track record of selling. Her commission was 3 and we gave 2.5 for the buyers agent. Most importantly she brought her contacts to the table. My place needed quite a bit of renovations (which she suggested but definitely left it up to me to decide) and she had a contractor that started within a week and was very affordable. She also had contacts for a plumber and staging (again, she recommended but didn't push). She coordinated everything so I didn't have to worry about anything. She had given me comps prior to listing but didn't want to give a set price until closer to the list date because the market has been fluctuating a bit. My place sold within 2 days on the market.

I hear that some agents pay for staging, cleaning, etc but maybe you have to have a higher listing price to get those type of things. [/quote]
