Discount Commissions or listing for less

I've said this in a previous post but it is worth repeating:

Since commissions are negotiable you might think asking your Realtor to discount or reduce the rate they charge you is a good idea. But is that in your best interest? NO and here is why... A tattoo artist was questioned about a popular tattoo "born to lose" and the interviewer was shocked and asked why someone would want to put such a message on their body. The artist replied: "that message was tattooed on the brain, long before I put it on the body". The same psychological message is conveyed when a Realtor discounts a commission, whether consciously or subconsciously. A home is probably one of your largest financial investments. Do you really want to entrust one of your largest investments to someone who is "born to lose"?

Discount Commissions or listing for less

Since commissions are negotiable you might think asking your Realtor to discount or reduce the rate they charge you is a good idea. But is that in your best interest? NO and here is why... A tattoo artist was questioned about a popular tattoo "born to lose" and the interviewer asked why someone would want to put such a message on their body. The artist replied that message was tatooed on the brain long before he put it on the body. The same phsychological message is conveyed when a Realtor discounts a commission, whether consciously or subconciously. A home is probably one of your largest financial investments. Do you really want to entrust that investment to someone who is "born to lose"?
