I am selling my house now too, what a hassle. But I got the top agent in my city, he gets the first page listings in all the real estate free mags they have in the grocery stores and stuff, and I need to sell in a hurry and my house is worth more than any of the others around here mostly, so it's worth the 6% to me at the moment.
BTW, if anyone wants a 2800 SQft house with it's own creek, bridges that goto garage and front door in Columbus Oh, 350k gets you a fucking gem of a house, hit me up, I'll toss in some domain with the deal
