One of the most common questions you’ll hear when trying to get a listing is, “Will you reduce your commission?” In this economy, homeowners are trying to save money wherever possible, and this can seem like a no-brainer for many sellers. Have a good response at hand to deal with this question. “I can appreciate that request. May I explain why an agent who is willing to reduce his fees should concern you? If an agent will cut their own fee that quickly with you, what do you think they’ll do with a low offer on your home? They are very likely to pressure you to sell quickly instead of negotiating for a better sales price. You will get your money’s worth with me: I will work hard for you to get the highest possible sales price.”
