    I am all for that, but like I said, for now, as far as I can tell, the options are a realtor or you sell it yourself. I would love to hear other options (especially in Indiana) because we will be selling our house next year.

      There are Real Estate Agents that aren’t realtors. But they’re rare because of issues like the lock boxes that prevent buyers agents from being able to show a house if they aren’t a realtor.

        I suppose you could just make them a copy of your keys. But this isn’t a very populous place (less than 100,000 people in the metro area), so I’m not hopeful of there even being an independent real estate agent here. Worth looking for though, thanks.

          Exactly. Finding one is difficult because of barriers to entry caused by the realtor lobby.

            Well, thanks for the info anyway. It’s definitely worth checking out, so I appreciate it.

      I know someone who became a licensed realtor so he could sell his own house and take/save the commission.

        Yeah, it seems like people are pretty locked in.
