I fully understand what you're saying. I tried to sell some cheaper houses in the day on my own. What a waste of time. Most use house shopping as a hobby and few are serious. I wouldn't want to be an agent. I respect the good ones and they are worth what they get paid.

All agents aren't the same, you want someone who knows how to sell. That's the goal, and to do it quickly and for the most money. If you open the discussion or your criteria for choosing a broker is commission, you'll more likely eliminate the really motivated, good ones who know how to sell...remember they're in business to make the most money, and if you introduce yourself in a way that dismisses or minimizes their role, you'll hold onto your house or not get the best deal.
And the idea that you don't share all your circumstances with your broker is crazy, they represent you and to do that, they need you to be straight with them.
6% is pretty std. If you want to move the house, and at the most money, offer them more. it;s sounds paradoxical, but it actually could net you more.
