Been told 6% is required to sell? Then you’ve been lied to.
In this episode, Glen pulls back the curtain on the biggest lie in real estate: the so-called “standard” 6% commission. Discover how this outdated system costs sellers thousands, how sliding-scale commissions punish success, and what flat-fee alternatives like Ohio Property Group offer instead.
Glen breaks down real examples and exposes deceptive practices in the real estate industry, such as inflexible service menus and agents demanding unjustified fees. He also discusses the lack of experience and training among many Realtors, and challenges the entitlements and egos prevalent in the industry.
This episode encourages sellers to demand better service, real transparency, and a pricing model that actually works in their favor.
