re: Article: There are way too many real-estate agents

I am an investor that got my license to list my houses and now work for friends and family some. What I bring to the table is unbiased negotiation and a familiarity with the process. I find out what is most important to my clients (usually sellers) and negotiate to protect their interests. On this last deal that we had priced aggressively I saved the seller basically my commission by getting the buyer to submit a stronger offer. He would have done even better if the prospect of a contingency on another offer didn't turn him off.
