You considered using a flat fee agent, but ultimately went with a traditional agent. Why?
Curious to learn what made you pick a traditional agent vs a flat fee listing service when you were selling your property. If you were actually aware of and looking into alternatives to the traditional 6%. Obviously the listing fee savings are ridiculous, $100-$500+ (up to low thousands/1% if the provider offers a full service option) vs a 2.5-3% with a traditional listing agent. Yet you decided to pay more anyways. Why? What's the one thing (or more) that made you say no to flat fee, yes to traditional? Much appreciated! [PS1: I'm sure i may get a flood of "you get what you pay for" responses from agents themselves, I hope they'll refrain - please refrain!, as I'm curious to learn the thinking of genuine actual sellers; PS2: cross-posting, as this community may be a better fit than a fsbo community]
