Not necessarily. If removing the commission reduces your buyer pool and showing traffic, the resulting lower sale price or extended time on market may cost more than the commission you saved. A 2.5% commission on a $2M property is $50,000 - but if fewer showings result in a price reduction of $75,000 - $100,000, the net outcome is worse. Analyze your specific competitive landscape before deciding.
