, and the second for the forsalebyowner (FSBO) separation could permit the maintenance of housingprice differentials between the two groups of consumers. If selection bias is present, and housing prices are higher for brokerlisted properties, the price differences observed could be attributed to the predisposition of buyers using a broker to pay more for their homes. If no selection bias is present, the higher prices may represent the value added by the broker which the buyers are willing to pay for. Alternatively, no price differentials may exist due to the petitive impact of FSBOs on the prices paid for brokerassisted transactions. 6 The choice of whether to use a broker and its subsequent effect on price is modeled using a Heckman twostage model. In the first stage, a probit equation is employed to model the decision to choose a real estate broker. The decision is modeled as a function of eight variables. Buyer ine (AINC) is employed as a measure of the opportunity cost of search. It has already been shown that buyer search duration can be reduced by working with a real estate broker. If higher ine buyers have higher opportunity costs, we would expect that they would choose to buy through a real estate broker. Source: Leonard ,Harold ,Edward .

As is often the case,answering this question is not a simple task. Home buyers who acquire their house through a broker do not purchase just a housethey also obtain the services of the broker. In other words, these buyers are consuming a bundled good. One dimension of this good is lower search time, and thus lower search costs, associated with buying through a broker. Recent research (Baryla and Zumpano, 1995) suggests that choosing a broker improves the marginal efficiency of search, making it more likely that a buyer will find a satisfactory match earlier in the search process. Buying through a broker also increases the supply of houses available to buyers, and provides buyers with information on the quality of different houses and the neighborhoods in which they are located. Brokers frequently help buyers identify sources of mortgage financing and property insurance, as well as assist buyers in recording the title. All of these services suggest that brokers provide value added to buyers (in addition to providing a service to sellers), something that these buyers would be willing to pay , this bundle of services and the house that is purchased would, intuitively, be priced higher than homes purchased without the assistance of a broker.
