The commission paid greatly outweighs having to go back on the market and potentially getting less than you listed it for the first time.Some individual markets are better for this than others, but if you have an agent with a great strategy on the list side (professional photos, staging advice, etc) and you pair that with listing the property at a low price; you increase your chances dramatically of getting a bidding war and not only offsetting the commission but potentially making more than originally planned. 

Change orders and unknowns always just increase the prices.
