I am a realtor, and I don't just care about commissions. I care about my clients and getting them the best deal...fair. It sounds like the neighbor that listed their house was look at the market trends and that why the listed lower. The longer your home is on the market, the more compromised you are. The first question is "how long has this home been on the market" and .." when was the last price reduction"? I hope this is taken in the way it is meant...to be helpful.

In the past few years when the market was hot realtors have been making lower and lower incomes. (Some think it should be the opposite). In general there has been so much competition and less work had to be done so commissions tanked. Now that people are finally realizing how much work we actually do they are starting to want to pay us. I have seen an upturn in commissions in WA and OR. Personally bonuses don't drive me because I want to do right by my client regardless of incentives. But I have used bonuses to sell my own property and it did work. Just remember you don't need a lot of showings, just the right one. As a realtor, I love your thinking!
