Ask HN: Why would seller broker not put their skin in the game?
As soon as I listed my property for sale by owner on zillow, i started getting 100s of calls(10x more than actual buyers) from realtors wanting to be my seller broker. Though i offered to pay 2.5% buyer broker commission most realtors were selling hard to be seller broker instead of taking advantage of the buyer broker commission.
So i offered the following: "Besides giving me the listing price also give me estimated lowest sell price. And then i asked them to put their skin in the game and lose their commission if the property were to sell below their recommended lowest sell price"
Since nobody accepted, i am curious why would the seller brokes not put their skin in the game?
