The obvious answer is the idea that at the end of the closing, you’d end up with a little bit more money if you chose the discount broker. How can they deliver that, though? Well, they can’t! That’s why they haven’t overtaken the business. The public has spoken. However, a few discount brokers manage to survive and complete deals here and there.
In choosing between a discount broker and a full-service broker, you need to interview each type and ask them what they’re going to do to sell your house. Most discount brokers are not going to do very much at all, but in their defense, they don’t promise to do very much.
