Are you comfortable spending $60,000 on commissions? Is paying 6% commission on selling your home not sitting well with you? Well, you are not alone.
In a recent survey of Marin Home buyers, more than 59% of the home owner responded Yes to the question of selling their own home. Granted these sellers might have other reasons to consider selling their own home, but paying $60-80k of commission has to be part of the justification for their answer.
But you like these sellers there you have options. The shortage of inventory still continues in most of Silicon Valley market where buyers out number sellers by a 4-1 margin. So, why it’s not a bad question to ponder why you still would have to pay a full 6% commission to sell your home ?
