Dear Abby, a very small residential real estate brokerage outside Raleigh, NC. I've completed two value-for-value listings with repeat clients in the past year, and both voluntarily paid me more than I would have charged them outright. When I presented this idea, both parties were hesitant and wanted me to give them a set fee. I told them I wanted to earn my fee and leave it to them to decide what it was worth when their home was sold. It's work with people I know and trust, but offering this to everyone is another beast altogether. I've pitched the idea to friends and family. Nearly everyone tells me I'm a fool to have that kind of faith in most people. The opportunity to get royally screwed is huge, but I can't think of a better way to earn my clients' trust and prove my worth. Am I just being too naive? Love the show.
