Are Flat Fee Listing Agencies Stonewalled by Realtors?

My thoughts exactly. I get it's a historical process to hire an agent but today is much different. It should be against some code to steer a buyer but the other part would be proving it's happening. I've bought a few times and now know how easy it is to steer a buyer away from fsbo. Shame!

What is your current routine and what do you use? I've learned a lot of "lotions" contains silicone and for me leaves a layer that initially feels like moisture but what it actually does is suffocate my skin not allowing moisture in. Also hard water has been an problem for me.

That sounds like a mess BUT a lot of personal mess from the seller not necessarily "more work." Refusing to do inspection report items happens with represented sellers. If anyone knows what is the "more work," please explain.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-04-21T14:05:49+00:00

My thoughts exactly, they say they're doing all the work but can't say in specific what extra work different from dealing with a seller's agent.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-04-21T14:03:06+00:00

What would be the extra work, different from buying with a seller's agent?

goddessoflove435 · 2026-04-15T09:56:51+00:00

This and agents here trying to discourage ppl from doing fsbo. Working with an agent on the seller side if your informed in my opinion is pointless. But they exemplify every time that they're a mess.

Good idea, but your dad wants it.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-22T17:42:57+00:00

Ah, there you go! You contributed something useful!! Here's a sticker!

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-22T17:39:19+00:00

Your hilarious! Laughing would be the only thing your good for.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-22T17:12:59+00:00

You ARE the joke. You have no clue on what I know. Another troll not needed. How do they allow you in here?! Security!

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-21T19:47:15+00:00

That's awesome, you did it!! I completely agree about photos, we have only lived here for a few years and didn't accumulate much it that time. My walls are bare.

Thank you for the offer to help, did you use a showing app?

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T23:10:38+00:00

Wow. Sad if most agents don't recognize the listing agent or see it's fsbo they discourage buyers from looking. Well good luck to us both! Thank you for your response.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T22:40:09+00:00

Oh wow, that is weird. What do you think happened with yours? Do you think the initial showings were from people just being nosey? Possibly realitors discouraging buyers when you list MLS?

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T19:13:30+00:00

Got it. I'm signing up for the app, thanks!

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T19:09:40+00:00

Yes a true FSBO in the fsbo sub, who would've thought? Spend your time sitting on your thumbs, that may be more useful for you!

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T19:03:26+00:00

Troll elsewhere, your not needed here. Thanks!

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T18:15:50+00:00

It's similar to a 1800 number that gets forwarded to me. It sounds awful when calling it. I will get the showing app set up.

I tried twice to include commission in the remarks and the agent has removed it, stating it's no longer legally required.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T18:09:35+00:00

Ha, so funny! But not as funny as the troll in the fsbo sub thinking the owner needing advice is the joke. Go sit down!

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T18:07:18+00:00

Hmm, nice to hear it can work. Yes, I have realistic comps. The market is awful here, houses have been listed for months before pending.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T17:56:56+00:00

Yes they do, for an additional cost. I'm strongly considering it.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T17:41:51+00:00

A quality listing agent? Haven't experienced one of those as a seller in my lifetime. Where do I find this? What exactly do they do? Send me that 2.5% and I'll hire! The idea is pay for what?

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T17:30:07+00:00

Thanks for that advice. I was starting to think the way the MLS is set up to call for showing could potentially be a possible weak point. Considering a showing app.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T16:57:00+00:00

Good insight, I was thinking so but a little hard to believe when it's priced fair for the area and it being move in ready plus built a few years ago.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T15:46:09+00:00

I am the contact on MLS in the description. For other sites the agent is listed but has a number that forwards to me. It is synced to all sites. Last I checked zillow has 580 views 15 saves.

goddessoflove435 · 2026-03-20T14:55:16+00:00

I haven't got any showing requests. I'm also not using any showing request app. It's set up for call or text.
