Listing Agent Fees

[Bob E.]

I have a agent/contact this is considering doing sales listing for a flat fee in the Phoenix market and am trying to help them gauge interest and get some marketing feedback.

If you are a flipper / volume seller in the Phoenix market: 

-  Do you use an agent to buy property?

-  Do you sue the same agent to buy and sell?

-  What services do you expect from a listing agent?

-  What are you currently paying your listing agent and buyers agent when you sell?  

-  What would you consider a good value for a Listing Agents Fee?  What would you offer to the buyers agent?

Keywords:  Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, Gilbert, Mesad, Chandler

Im not in the Phoenix market...however in my market (DC) it is customary to use the same agent to list that you used to sell. The flippers who do not do that, find themselves on the outs pretty quickly, and thus a lot of their deals dry up. Ive seen more than a few wreck their business by not following that custom.
