Read Freakonomics. It has a very interesting analysis about Real
Estate agents and how they may, or may not be motivated to sell you
house for the highest amount possible.


Never read it, but the scenario is easy with anyone working on commission.

Do you want 3% of $200,000 today or do you want to risk waiting because you
may get $205,00 next week or the week after. Or you may not get another
offer for two more months and it may be even less? OK what do you want to
do?


Exactly. That's just $150.00 more to the realtor. They aren't
motivated to do anything extra for $150.00.
