I believe we should all work together. I talked to many agents during the period I was selling my house. They all tries to lure me into signing a listing contract with them. But then I made my position very clear. They could bring potential buyers to me and I would give them commission. But I would not sign any listing contract. I also seized the opportunities to ask them to share with me their opinions on the real-estate market, also their experiences and stories. BTW, I just found out your blog, which I have added to my blogroll. It is so good to find people with the same passion.

People are cautious and want to buy at the right price and feel an agent can best represent the market and there home sale.
