Cathi, I agree with Dotsie, that you should never do business with family! When purchasing my present home, I used my cousin (also w/ Century 21) and all he did was gripe that he was too busy and showed me homes that were either not affordable or needed too many repairs (or near railroad tracks!). Perhaps you could locate a realtor that only charges a 4 percent commission fee and promises to advertise. Do you have color flyers posted along with the 4-sale sign? Since my realtor did not advertise my home on their web-site w/in 2 weeks of signing the sales contract, I purchased my own tube and made color flyers and faxed copies to local military housing offices, this is how a realtor from another city was able to give information to her client. I did all the work and the realtor got the 5%commission!
