agentBOOST.com - Find A Real Estate Agent

Finding the right real estate agent is critically important when buying and selling a home. This site aims to help you find an agent, and at the same time save you money on agent fees.

The premise is simple: you register that you need an agent to help you buy or sell a house, and in return agents bid for the opportunity to work with you. Each bid tells you the amount of commission the agent will charge, and the site claims that the majority of bids are well below the standard 3%. You then decide who you want to contact and go from there. The site also boasts that they are the best way for agents to find real estate leads. They charge a small fee ($20-29) to contact buyers/sellers, but they do not take any percentage of your commission, which is apparently in direct contrast to competing sites. In sum, the site seems like a worthwhile tool in the real estate game, especially if you are eager to save on commission fees.
