Jun. 5, 2006 - "Commission" Makes You Click Your Mouse

Checking my blog stats, I see that "Commission" has once again regained the top spot as the most popular category. Reviewing what I have posted in that regard, I wonder what it is that I have left out. I have given you a text book definition of what commission is. I have told you about flat fee listers and given you a good example of what I was up against when I got into a deal with one. What is it about "Commission" that gets you to click your mouse?

Perhaps I should approach the subject like this:

A lot of folks believe that a Real Estate Agent gets you to sign a listing agreement, they put a sign in your yard (if local ordinance or home owner association rules allow), enter you into the MLS, cross their fingers and hope for the best. It could well be that is because they, or someone they know, have run into a Real Estate Agent who has done just that. They wound up paying a full service commission to what was essentially a full service impostor doing a flat fee listers job.

If you keep coming back, I will start a blow by blow accounting of what it means to earn a commission. I am keeping busy earning mine, so I must cut this short for now. See you real soon.

As always, if you have found yourself receiving my blog postings via e-mail, it is because I have either blogged about you personally, blogged about something I know is of interest to you, or I consider you to be a person of deep thinking and intellect and I would love to have you occasionally commenting on my blog. If you would like to be removed from the list simply send me an e-mail saying so.
