Great Rehab, now what to expect from the Agent?

[John Fiastro]

I am just wrapping up my first flip.  The house looks great! Not one square inch has gone untouched.  I am expecting to pay a stager.  I had a real estate agent come and take a look at the house and he said that he would charge a 5% commission.  For that he will pay for the photographer and the marketing.  I am trying to reconcile the commission rate and how much work is actually necessary to sell the property.  When a house looks great, should I just find a listing service? Or should I go with my 5% agent?
