Question

Can you sell a house faster by offering more commission?

Answer 1

hey fool search for a broker estate broker in your area and ask him he will do it very easily

silly

Answer 2

No ... but if you offer to REDUCE commission after the house has been on the market for too long then it might help. lol :D

Then again with the current market condition (I assume you're in the states?), no one would want to work with you.

You'd have a better fighting chance if you put half of that amount to beautify your front and back yard, repaint the outside of the house, install some more new electronic gadgets and appliances ... and put the remaining in the bank to pay for mortage, future expenses, and buyer incentives.

Answer 3

If you offer a higher commission percentage, or offer a bonus to the real estate agent (such as an extra $500-1000 at closing), you might get more agents interested in showing your house to prospective buyers.  The more prospective buyers that see your house, the bigger the chance that one of them will make an offer.

If there are problems with your house that make it unappealing to buyers, however, you might still have problems selling the house.

Good luck in finding a buyer!
