We offer different services per transaction, and commission is always negotiable. A reputation is very important and will get you more or less leverage in negotiating a commission. This truly a competitive market place. Where else does an industry list inventory and prices for the general public to look at. In the Real Estate industry people have access to most if not all the inventory in the MLS. Yet the general public still feel there is a need to utilize the services of the Real Estate Proffessional. </body> </HTML>
