[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are about to do our 5th transaction with our realtor, who has been great.  We broached the subject of a lower commission but she would only agree to 2.75%. Between Redfin and other realtors who are going down to 2%, we're inclined to shop around. She's with Compass and I like their private client pre-sale option, and the person who stages is also very good (we of course have to pay for that though).  We don't quite buy the line that a higher commission agent is worth it, what do you think? Any any good recs for lower commission agents? We expect the house to sell for 1.5+ so the percentages here do make a difference.  [/quote]

Talk about focused on the wrong things.

But good luck and understand you get what you pay for.

And before I am accused of it, I'm not an agent or connected to the industry in any way. I just find these people who obsess about agent compensation more than they focus on what their house sells for or how quickly it sells or the marketing plan or a thousand other more important things are beyond dumb.

You have someone who you trust, who you say "has been great." This person has gotten results for you four times in the past. And you're willing to chuck that relationship because you think the grass is greener and you might get to pay a lesser agent less.

Make it make sense.
