Some real estate agents are somehow able to put a big guilt trip on homeowners if they think you might list your home with someone else. The truth of the matter is they don't really impose the guilt, the homeowner imposes it on themselves.

The agent may have been particularly nice to you in some aspect of your pursuit to sell your home (of course they were nice - they wanted your listing!), and you turn that in to the need to pay that agent 5 or 6% commission for their kindness. That's over $15,000 commission on the average home in Connecticut. That's pretty good pay for being nice!

Think of it... There are over 16,000 real estate agents in Connecticut, and over 6,500 real estate brokers. The chance of you listing with any of these in particular is less than 1 in 22,000. With so many agents around, there's bound to be one that makes you feel you should list with them even if deep down you don't want to.

Just because you choose not to list with the sister-in-law of your best friend's cousin doesn't mean you should feel guilty.

Feeling particularly guilty about a certain agent?

List with us and we'll send the agent a nice note inviting them to show your home. We'll explain that you'd love for them to be the agent to sell your home in which case they'll earn the commission that you're offering through MLS.

We'll also send them a $25 gift card to a restaurant.

How's that for getting rid of your guilt? You get to list with us and save a bundle of money. They get the chance to sell your home and earn the commission.

And they get Dinner Out to boot! Just let us know what agent you want us to send this to and we'll take care of the rest.

Guilt Free Money Saving Listings.
