Description of service
The $11,940 was a high price for the realtor, but it included listing the property, showing the house, and included the percentage which was paid for both realtors (buyer and seller) and the commission paid to the brokers (buyer and seller). This rate is pretty much set by the state, as it sets the commission rate which is allowed by law.
Review of Service
The good part is that this doesn't happen very often, as most people don't sell their homes weekly or yearly. Fortunately we were able to find a realtor that we could work with, even though sometimes the real estate office that he worked often forgot that they were asking us to vacate our house at odd hours of the day (8:30 at night). The value is pretty much set by state law, so even though I thought it was a little high we really didn't have a choice on how much was paid and to whom it was paid.
Tips
Shop around and find a realtor which you can work with, many times a realtor will be so into selling your house that they forget that it is still your house which is being sold. Make sure that you have an open dialogue so the realtor can still get the house sold and everyone can keep their sanity.
