When Mike Chambers decided to sell his home in Boulder, CO, every real estate agent he spoke to wouldn’t budget below a 5% commission. That amounted to $137,500 on his $2.75 million house. “I didn’t feel like the service I was getting was reflected in the price I was being asked to pay,” he tells The Playbook. “So I decided to sell it myself.” The problem? Colorado law does not allow sellers to post on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)—the main hub where buyers shop—without an agent.
