real estate is mighty greedy, 6% -7% for selling your house, now come on. i put in just the same amount of work in selling my property, but alliance took $16000 almost for selling my property. i done open houses and my own advert in the local paper. alliance did not reconize the amount of work i put into the sale and took all the commission. i would never reccomend Alliance in Bismarck ND. Plus they never gave me all of the options of selling my property, untill i read in a Realty book that you have different options. BEWARE ask.
