DOJ vs Columbia MLS

Things are changing in Columbia. The Consolidated MLS in Columbia and the Department of Justice, just reached a settlement. Columbia will soon be allowing Exclusive Agency. This means that Sellers will be allowed to negotiate directly with agents.

Agents are trained perfessionals in the art of negotiation and sales. I don't think that Sellers should take the decision to negotiate on their own lightly. On the other hand this should be their decision to make.

Flat Fee services add choices for Sellers in Columbia, SC

Flat Fee services allow sellers to to pick and choice what they want from their Listing Agent. Commissions should be negotiable, but many brokerages do not allow their agents to list for less then 3%.

This is my first time Blogging. My real interest is what other think. Please post comments and questions.
