"In Chicago, a real estate agent keeps her own home on the market an average of 10 days longer and sells it for an extra 3-plus percent, or $10,000 on a $300,000 house.

When she sells her own house, an agent holds out for the best offer; when she sells yours, she pushes you to take the first decent offer that comes along ... her share of a better offer (about $150 for 3-plus percent) is too puny of an incentive to encourage her to do otherwise."
