Looks like we are getting pretty close to getting our condo on the market.

My logic so far with selecting a realtor is to just go with the one that sold the unit next door to us. She's apparently sold a number of units in our complex and not knowing any realtors at all (bought the one I'm in now 20 yrs ago), she seemed like the right choice.

We met with her in fall and she left us with a pamphlet that shows her fee break down (7% on the first 100k, 3% on the rest).

After a really short chat with my step dad, he mentioned he negotiated a better rate with his realtor years ago as he used the same individual to sell current place and buy new one.

So that's got me curious, is the 7%, 3% pretty standard? Anyone have any experience with this recently that did better?
