> sellers aren’t interested in experimenting...they just want their house to sell

Presumably sellers also want to maximize the money they get when selling. Why wouldn't they be willing to experiment on increasing that number?

The rate is negotiable.

But usually it’s because people need their house to sell while they are still making payments. If there isn’t any urgency to sell, experimentation is fine.

In extremely high demand markets, you’re clearly better off experimenting too.
