I list homes for as low as 5%. 7% is not the standard anymore in most places.

Having been an agent for 10 years, Other agents and I laugh at comments related to real estate agents going away. The public has zero idea of what it takes to properly market and sell homes, let alone keep deals together and get clients to closing. If they saw the fires we constantly put out and all the work that is required to be good at this profession, they would stop talking.
There is a reason that 8 out of 10 for sale by owners end up hiring an agent.
Fixed for my 5th grade grammar teacher.

Arrr! I list homes for as low as 5%. 7% is not thee standard anymore in most places. Having been an bilge rat for 10 years, I and other bilge rats laugh at comments related to mud bilge rats going away. Thee public has zero idea of what it takes to properly market and sell homes, let alone keep deals together and git clients to closing. If they saw thee fires we constantly put out and all thee toil that is required to be good at this profession, they be stop talking. Thar is a reason that 8 out of 10 for sale by owners end up hiring an bilge rat..

I really don't get why people do this. Most of us on here are typing a quick reply fast before getting onto our lives. Sorry we have more important things to do than fix grammar on a message board on a Saturday night.

If it's to bust Marks balls I don't get the hate either. He seems like a cool guy, gives a ton of money to the site, and put his professional opinion on a house thread. He gives away free money on here and if I had the funds, sounds like he wants to do a fun 1000 dollar FF league possibly winning you 10000. You guys are gonna kill a good thing going by being billy badass behind a screen name.

The finish in that basement didn't add 27k worth of value to that home.

I'm no realtor, but in the house range ive been looking in (a little smaller than this), the finished basement seems to be a 20k difference at least in the listings (ie its been the difference between a 200 and a 220k home)
