Flat Fee Listing (with buyers coop) or pay full 6% listing agent

Chris M.

Posted

I'm finishing up a rehab and need to get it listed. I can either pay a flat fee of $500 for MLS listing + 3% to the buyers agent, or I can pay a listing agent the full 6%.

From what I can tell, there isn't that much a difference.  I wouldn't get open houses which I'd like but how much is that worth?  or any hand-holding/help negotiating which I don't think I need.  But being out of state, it would be nice to have someone check up on the house.  I was thinking I might be able to pay someone to check up on the house that would be a lot cheaper.  

What would you do?  Thoughts?
