The agent is in touch with all prospective buyers in the vicinity and has an experience in closing sales that is worth to the seller far more than the amount of the Commission. ANOTHER MISTAKE It is, if anything, a greater mistake for a buyer not to come to the agent, as no agent will list a property if he thinks the owner is asking too much for it, he cannot afford to waste his time trying to get fancy prices. A lair deal to both parties is his motto. He can give the selling prices of all properties that have changed hands for yeaie, he can see that insurance policies are properly transferred, and he can give the buyers the choice of practically every property for sale in the vicinity.
