Rookie Realtor smacked by greed 

I just lost my first listing opportunity because of one simple factor: Greed.

Not so much due to greed on the seller's part, but the greed of my own brokerage firm for refusing to permit me to charge a 5 percent commission instead of the standard 6 percent.

This whole situation is so utterly stupid, so terribly frustrating, that I'm not sure if I can explain it.

But, I'll try my best.

For a year now, I've dutifully knocked on at least 200 doors a week in my "farming area" in the hope of landing my first listing.
