Brokers Get Selective With Their Listings

The newest real estate trend? Brokers turning down listings:

Some sellers still consider it a "seller's market" and aren't willing to be flexible when it comes to their sales price and more. In response to this, many brokers have decided to turn down these types of listings, which can take longer to sell than necessary. Of course, there are brokers out there - usually discount brokers - that are more than happy to take these listings. However, sellers soon learn that dropping the price or being more flexible on other components was the right way to go from the start and bring their listing to the more experienced broker.
