I guess I didn't make it clear what happened. No agents were involved. I
priced the house about what I believed it would realistically bring, lets
say $175,000. Then I said to the potential buyer: "If I sold this house
through an agent, you would have to pay $175,000, and I would end up with
$165,000 after paying a $10,000 commission. I will sell it to you for
$170,000." So the buyer and I each ended up with $5000 more than we would
have otherwise.
