Things to keep in mind while hiring a low-commission agent
Services
2. Underselling or under marketing your home
Low-commission real estate sales people often undersell homes. Many full-fee real estate brokers will only list your home. Ask the listing agent what he or she will do to attract purchasers. Get the agent's activity in writing to ensure accountability. If you don't think a low-commission agent can sell your home, don't hire one.
3. Dual Agency Scenarios
Some Low-Commission Real Estate Agents are more interested in acting as dual agents to sell your home than in making a profit. The agent acts as a liaison between the seller and the buyer. A dual-agency relationship raises the possibility that your agent will make a mistake in representing your best interests. Before signing on with an agent, discussing the possibility of a dual-agency relationship with them is wise.
