A fee sounds good, an hourly rate seems to incentivize the wrong behavior (as does a percentage of the sale price).

A fee would incentivize the realtor to be done as quick as possible.

Well, so does the current scheme of a percentage, offset only by whatever desire there is to find a more expensive house you're willing to buy so they can get more money, which you hope isn't a large factor in their reasoning.
