Sounds obvious but find an agency that is willing to work out a deal on the commission side that is favorable , especially if you are in a fast paced market. Try to cap the fee at a max amount you are willing to pay for the work they are willing to do. You will need to be a strong negotiator with them as they try to protect there position , in the worst case scenario at least you gain some negotiating skills from the experience but you most likely pick up some valuable tips from their offerings you could use if you go FSBO.
I was a realtor in NJ for a period of time in Hoboken. Big market, high priced space, lots of competition. If your market is strong there is little work for a realtor if the property is priced correctly. The most important thing to do is get your pricing correct, that is not saying to low ball for the sale more over be reasonably competitive to gain the advantage.
