Agent Commission

[Donny Trana]

I'm trying to sell a house I own. The price I've listed it at reflects no agent commissions (-6%). If an agent approaches me with an interested buyer, can I agree to work with them if I tell them the buyer would need to pay their commission out of pocket or we could work their commission into financing by negotiating the price up by 3%? Right now the house is listed for $95k. So, tell them I will work with them if they can get a buyer to agree to $98k?

I may have a different take as an agent, but I think the problem I see here is you are trying to sell a house for more than it is worth and creative marketing does not make up for over priced homes. If it was listed for 6 months with two showings it was way over priced or you are in a horrible market.
