Thread: Advice Needed.

About 4 Months ago we decided to put our house on the market and try sell it, we found a broker who went over a price she felt was right for a quick sale and told us that at the particular price we were asking she should have it sold in a matter of weeks, she went on to say she has people interested in properties similar to ours and she is very confident of a quick sale.

Anyway about 2 months ago we were offered a land contract on our property, the person was making a $20,000 down payment and wanted us to finance the rest, she advised us to not accept the offer because she was confident of a sale.

Anyway its now been about 4 months and nothing is happening, the promised contact regarding showings of our house have stopped, we have to contact her about everything and while I understand she has other properties that require her time I dont feel that we have been represented properly.

We are now desperate to sell and have done a bunch of advertising online ourself and have generated lots of interest, we found somoene on our own who is wanting a land contract, only $6000 down but they have good credit and can make high monthly payments. Our problem is now our realtor wants her full commission if we complete the sale and she hasnt done a thing, I understand that she has put time and effort into showing the house to people and advertising however I feel that for her to require full commission is unfair. Does anyone have any advice, I am sure if a real estate agent had shown the house they would be getting a piece of her commission correct? Is it unfair of us to expect the same kind of deal after all this potential sale would not have even occured had we not done all this work ourself.

If anyone has some guidance or advice they could give it would be greatly appreciated.
