Yeah...it's the commission. Trelora sells the house for a flat rate of $2500. Flat rate to the buyer agent of $3000. Even after we bumped the buyer agent commission to 2.8% we still didn't get any showings. The buyer agent probably sees "Trelora" as the broker and assumes commission is $3k.

We wound up using Madlom Real Estate. The only thing they did differently than Trelora was print up some really nice brochures on the house. But they were very professional, prompt and quick to return calls or emails. I'd highly recommend them. I can get the agent's name to anyone interested.

The Trelora model is probably more effective in the metro area where their agents can actually show the house. They don't do showings in this area so we had to rely on buyer agents finding the house. Didn't work.
