Others have chimed in on but for question #2, be mindful of what you are selling and your target audience.
I picked a higher end real estate firm / brokerage with a solid marketing strategy and a global reach. I sold my condo in 3 hours from listing. It cost me 4% in commissions (expensive) but we were in a very dangerous market here in Toronto last year and I'm glad we sold it just on time. On the plus side, it set the benchmark for the building and everything after that has taken a very long time sell (or has not been sold since.) I would be living on the street right now.
