It's very hard to explain to sellers that list price can drastically affect whether they sell or not, and how quickly. Hi Jill, Good questions. Asking for marketing expenses up front will work in certain specific situations, but probably isn't for everyone. Brokers need to be more realistic with sellers and they shouldn't take listings that they think can't sell in a timely manner. That's an injustice to the sellers and to the broker too. Hi Julia,
