I'm not sure what makes you worth more than 6% to sell a home but I can say that I have been in this business for 13 years and have been on both sides of a transaction (buyer/seller and agency rep) with hundreds of transactions under my belt and I can say that in most, not all cases, agents are overpaid, particularly in high price point markets like mine.
