Bad economy or not, some agents are better at advertising, returning calls, giving good advice to the sellers on displaying the home and they truly earn their commission. Then you have the realtors that don't do anything out of the ordinary, other than list it and maybe put it online. I had that issue with my house when it was up for sale. Our realtor never showed the house. She said that our house wasn't "in her target group". What?? Because ours was $300,000 less than all of her other listings? Then we let our 2nd realtor show our house as "open house" when we were gone for the whole weekend only to come home on Sunday night to lights on, doors unlocked and our driveway gate not closed. As a consumer, you need all of the tools you can get to pick the right person for the job, or company.
