Negotiate Real Estate Commission?

[Bigstan]

I got 4%.

I called the realtor on the sign on the house for sale down the street from mine.
He asked if he was my first call, I said yes and he said sign me now and I'll do 4%, have an open house tomorrow with buyers I have queued up, and should have it sold in under a week. That was a Friday, the house sold on Sunday after the bidding was over. 20+ offers with no conditions and 12% over ask.

4% for what to him was a few hours work is a pretty good deal, and should be a workable # for anyone, especially as everything is still selling within days.
