In San Antonio, there is a realty company offering 1% commissions. Texas hasn't passed any laws protecting the 6% monopoly of realtors, apparently.
I sold 2 homes in California by myself and pocketed the "commission". My buyers got good deals both times, as did I. It's pretty easy in California because the escrow company guides you through all the paperwork. It's not so easy in other states, however. In Wisconsin, I would definitely need an atorney at my right hand. I worked with realtors selling houses in Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin, and it was horrid each time. Right now I'm tryng to sell land adjacent to my manufacturing plant in Wisconsin with a Realtor. It's been listed for 2 years, right across the street from 2 schools. It's a beautiful 4 acres. Between the Realtor and the Village, I'll never sell it.
