MANY thanks, wtg! Very informative. Of course, as usual it sounds like there's no definitive one way to do it (except that Redfin - whatever that is - sounds good).

That's hard for people like me who tend to overthink everything. Glad to know that about making the commission decision at the start (once and for all, I assume).

Is this Redfin (some kind of realty franchise?) nationwide?

Anybody else care to weigh in?
(Pretty please. )
