The Advantages and Disadvantages of an Open Listing?

Whereas, an open listing agent, is more likely to sell your home for any offer made (of course if he/she thinks is reasonable) this is because he/she does not get paid if he/she does not sell your home, whereas an exclusive agent gets paid no matter what. Remember, anyone can sell your home including you.
