Reply With Quotewell after everything else it wont hurt to give that a shot im gonna run that by my better half when she gets home..thanx for the input!!..hey if it works ill have to look ya up when im in vegas for some cocktails or something!!
hell we are up for what ever!! whats a good bonus beside the commission?? :idea: .. my lady is into real estate also, she has asked around on what else to do but none have made any difference..the house is one of the lowest in that area but falls more in the middle when it come to pricing for hayward hills..its hard to be the lowest/but also make $$ cause there really no two house's the same up there...everyone has its pro's and con's......just looking for some inside crap that works...lmao..trying to stay optimistic!!
maybe try upping the commission to 4% or a $5,000 seller bonus...
it seems to work out here--ya know the deal--an agressive realtor is gonna push somebody towards that particular property :wink:
When I sold my house in So-Cal it was showed a zillion times with no offers--one day after upping the % there were three offers at full price.
At the same time though--just like used cars--there's a butt for every seat. 1,000 can look, only one needs to bring an offer.

I have 4 listings offering out 5% commission to the buyers agent and we really haven't seen any more acitivity/offers then other comparable homes in area that are offering 2.5-3% commission. In this market I would rather see the client lower the price 2% than offer out that additional 2% to a buyers agent. It's great in theory but it just doesn't seem to work. Buyers right now are timid based upon the market.
I was also gonna mention that a couple of my listings we lowered the price this past weekend and we must have hit the sweet spot finally because I got offers on both of them. IMO I think the price is key and if the buyer likes the place and think they can get a good enough deal they will make an offer.
Im going thru the same thing. lowered price no offers for a couple months, now I get 2 offers in a week .. Ithink if everything is done its just timing... hell im paying the agents over 40k and they need more bonus???? I disagree..... the market is tough right now and Im sure theres a lot of starving agents out there, youd think they would be bending over backwards to make a sale. not just looking for a bonus..my .02

yeah Dan, our market is definitely different in Vegas...the buyers are good, the sellers are timid :wink:
The bonus worked on my so-cal house, but that was over a year ago...
