First thing to do is quit being so cheap. Listing with a flat fee agent fine. Now you need to offset that. Offer selling agents more then the going rate, most good agents with the buyers are going to see who the listing is with and say next, the only thing that will change that somewhat is a better offer than the other sellers are offering, offer 4 percent, yours isn’t a sellers market is it?

How to sell houses quickly? - Posted by Brian_wa

I normally list my houses via a flat-fee listing company. I’d pay the selling agent 2.5% to 3.0% commission and really do not do anything else in term of the marketing effort. I do price my houses pretty competitively.
However, what other methods do you use in conjuction with a flat-fee listing to increase your chance of selling? Do you advertise in the Newspapers knowing that most buyers have agents already? Do you offer owner financing in an area like Seattle where it’s hard to find a buyer with at least 10% down. I also don’t want to do lease/options too much now since value of houses may go down even further next year.
