Negotiating Commissions is bad for you!

Profile picture for Top Broker in SC
Sellers love to negotiate fees.  Realtors love to claim that reduced fees are actually bad for the consumer.  Click on the link and enjoy this cartoon I made today.  Number two of the day.  Now we know what I'll do with a day off.  Not very productive I'll admit.  But, it is funny.

LMAO!  Very Funny!!!
And even funnier, we had an agent try to use that line on us.  $3.5MM beach house and the agent tried to ask for a 7% commission.
A commision of almost 1/4 of a million $!
The realtor claimed that he would make up for it in "negotiations".
My husband told the realtor we could "make up for it in negotiations right now."  He stood up and showed the agent the door.
We sold ourselves. Paid an attorney $1K to write the contract and bought a boat and sent a kid to Vanderbilt with the savings.
Great video Whit!  Do you ever do any work in Charleston,SC?

Interesting. Wonder how long you'll be able to keep this up before the NAR (or SCAR?) comes knocking on your door.
