[quote=Anonymous]Ugh, DH and I cannot agree on this. He wants to use Redfin, which will list for a 4% commission (2.5% to buyers agent).  I want to use a traditional realtor who wants 6%. We just cannot decide. Please, convince one of us that the other is right!

House is a townhouse in Gaithersburg (20878). Will probably list around $435,000. We have done our homework and know the comps and the sale process.

My big hangup is when it comes to the inspection. House is 30 years old and I expect the inspector will have a laundry list of details. I wonder if the traditional agent will do a better job pushing our interests in not having to make a bunch of repairs. DH thinks I'm crazy and we just say no to what we don't want to do. I guess I just feel that the realtor we met with will be more aggressive. But, we've never sold before, so maybe that doesn't matter? DH has pointed out that if we list with Redfin, the house could take an extra 2 months to sell and we'd still come out ahead. I'm just more risk-averse than DH generally, but he doesn't even see using Reffin as a risk and thinks I'm nuts.

WWYD? Is offering 2.5% to buyers agent a bad idea? [/quote]
