I think it varies by region but I will have to look into it to clarify what we can do. In this buyer's market though, it's definitely not cake.
The bottom line is that if we sell for about what we are asking right now, we will still end up paying quite a bit of realtor fees. And we would anyway, at any price. There's no escaping it.
