Should I give A Selling Bonus to the Selling Agent?

After years of Selling Real Estate First in Brooklyn and now on Long Island there is always A cycle in Real Estate when we as agents start seeing home owners give some interesting incentives. This past Monday there was an interesting article in Newsday about Agent incentives to sell a Home. In the Past I Have seen incentives like Help with Closing Costs to the Buyer, A Selling Bonus to an Agent for a Certain Time Frame , Trips to Vacation destinations, as well as Flat Screen TV Give aways. Bottom Line does it Help? Sometimes but more often than Not the bottom line falls on the actual listing Price. Real Estate's Age old adage is "Location, Location, Location". In a Real Estate Market where competition is not only form traditional Home sales but also from Foreclosed, Short Sale( Pre-Foreclosure) & REO (Bank Owned Real Estate). The New Motto is "Price, Price, Price". Statistics Show that a Home Price Effectively in this Market will still sell in a more rapid time frame than the home overpriced and with gradual reductions.
