When Rhonda Burnett went to sell a home in 2016, she knew she would have to pay a commission to her real estate agent.
Ms. Burnett was instructed to select one, and she picked 6 percent.
“I shop sales,” Ms. Burnett, 70, said with a laugh.
She spent three decades as a stay-at-home mother while her husband, Scott Burnett, 72, worked for a waste management company and spent 20 years working as a local legislator.
But when I asked her if I could negotiate, she said, ‘No, you really can’t.’”
