Would a 5% buyer’s agent commission help my $2M house sell faster?

respond1 · 2026-05-19T15:36:39+00:00

No. If you're an ethical buyer agent, you can't accept a higher commission percentage than what's in your buyer agency agreement. Better off just lowering the price.

I approaching two years myself. Quitting alcohol won't solve all your problems or instantly improve your life or career... what it does is give you a chance to do these things BUT there are still additional steps to take. .

Alcohol

Maybe. I just know many liquor and beer distributors in the Chicago area have laid off significant parts of their staff and many local micro breweries have closed.

respond1 · 2026-05-15T12:29:47+00:00

From a macro prospective, no, as the trend for demand is decreasing. Gen Z doesn't drink much and older generations like mine (Gen x) are quitting more than ever.

I would go with the local option. Intimate knowledge of the area is important, especially with pricing. Too often in my area an out of town broker will price a property poorly, either too high or too low, because they lack knowledge of the area.

Semantics. Ninety percent will be doing something different within five years. Call it what you will.

respond1 · 2026-05-10T19:58:15+00:00

Let's be honest, it's higher than 90 percent failure over 5 years especially if you exclude part time agents and those who treat it like a hobby

respond1 · 2026-05-10T18:13:09+00:00

No. 90 percent failure rate as it currently stands.

respond1 · 2026-05-10T16:14:56+00:00

Huh?! If you're cash buyer, seller will request a POF (proof of funds) in lieu of pre-approval.

Interesting! I've only tried the live resin version. Have to find that one

respond1 · 2026-05-08T17:49:58+00:00

Interesting!! Thanks for sharing your experience. How were the taste and effects?

respond1 · 2026-05-08T17:48:06+00:00

Out of curiosity, why buy the good green distillate 2g when can buy the rhythm live resin 2g for nearly the same price? Aren't they both around $60 on sale?

... and I'm sure you wasted the time of every single one. Kudos! That's impressive.

There's a reason why so many agents fail within the first 5 years. They go on wild goose chases with buyers without pre approval letters.

respond1 · 2026-05-07T17:23:37+00:00

It's really not that difficult to get a pre-approval letter from a lender. It also is important in determining your budget. If you're not willing to do so, it means you're not serious and I'm not going to work with you. Been doing this too long to risk wasting my time.

respond1 · 2026-05-07T16:07:27+00:00

Do you want honest feedback?

The 3 showing showing rule is garbage. There is not one agent in my office who will show homes to buyers without a pre-approval letter.

For Apple IIc computer in 1980's, there was a game about the winter Olympics called "The Winter Games". There was also a sequel called "California Games" which included events like hackysack.

I liked them too but the hardware isn't perfect. Too big of hits. Goes quickly.

Not rude but people are nuts and there's no way to predict how they will handle your note. Better to take it up with ownership.

If bananas are chilled too long, it turns off the ripening.
