A commission of 3% on 400K is 12K. And actually, there's not all that much work once the sale gets to the finance company, and then handed over to the broker. Like a cars salesman. Do a little paperwork. Pass inspection. Finance. Title. Close. In one month. Routine work. Buyers don't need a realitor. Sellers do. When I sell I want a NET SHEET. Sell or buy, get a NET SHEET!!! The amount of work involved is minimal. Getting Sales data from the community is on the internet. Financing and title do just about all the work which is paid for separately from sales people. If you got two homes, 750K and 400K why should a Sales Agent get paid same rate 3% when the work is the same as the lower priced home?

Exactly this! The work is exactly the same. Realtors today don’t even have to work that hard anymore anyway, particularly in major markets.. the houses sell themselves.

The only real function of the buyer's agent is the MLS access and the access to the locked key box to open the door. If I was a buyer I would not pay any more than $500 for the buyer's agent time.

Buyers who want specific neighborhoods for lifestyle, school zones etc are smart to hire an agent who knows the market and the agents conducting business in that market to find out about properties before they are made public. While you may not find value in that, many many do. The people who will suffer with these changes are actually the middle and lower classes. Upper middle class people can afford to pay their agent just like they hire people to clean and care for their children.

This consultant has it completely backwards. Thinks about buying a car, do they add the sales persons commission onto the price of the car, NO, the commission is a percentage of the sale. When someone sells a house, they generally understand that there is a 6% commission that goes to the buyer/seller agent(s), that comes out of the sale price. Also, you can negotiate that percentage when selling a house. If a buyers agent is not willing to take 1.5 or 2% commission, they will just come up with a reason not to show it. Real estate agents have to understand that the reality is they have picked a job that requires evening and weekend work, it is not adding value to their service, it IS their service. Buyers generally have day jobs that allow them to pay for real estate, they have to use their evenings and weekends shopping, so real estate agents have to make themselves available then. If you talk to a real estate agent that disagrees with any of this, that is a huge red flag. DO NOT sign any contract with them and run away fast!

Your intentionally trying to leave vegetation for aesthetic purposes so you don't have to plant more. And the people don't give a crap. They want to build the biggest cheapest like 84 lumber square shed home with cheap ugly siding as big as possible. and they want to clear everything and just put grass with their cheap big ugly house. We used to spend time looking at brick sample and trying to not make houses direct copies of each other. and like pick a grape vine grout style to be different or different features. We used to think about where to put the house and the driveway and what trees to keep and then you have to be careful to not hit the trees your trying to keep while building. Now the F-ers the biggest and most equipment they can find and run everything over. then they put white cabinets and grey floors in every house. It doesn't make sense. We used to worry about having tall straight stairs in the foyer because people could fall to their death and die. then KB homes and everyone a straight set of death stairs with extra tall first floor ceilings.

If it was so easy why don’t you get your license and do it yourself 99% of you would be guppies swimming in a sea of sharks , completely and absolutely clueless about what to do. I charge 6% to sellers . Sometimes 5%. If you are an agent and can’t negotiate your own income , you suck and should choose a different industry to work in. The only thing that’s changing is we can’t advertise compensation on MLS. In 8 years I haven’t shown one home without a Buyers rep agreement. The desperate agents will be lurking around for a few months but very quickly washed away.

Buying homes is a scam. Keep your money, people.

Agents perform a commodified function in a monopoly...they are not artisan craftsmen with precious unique skills....the comparison to high end jewelry is laughable...they are merely bodies with access to a monopoly MLS mandated by culture to physically let you in the door of a house.....real estate attorneys could do the same work, won't collude with other agents and brokers behind closed doors, and will do it for 1/3 of an agent's expected commission for shuffling papers and soothing egos....and lawyers HAVE to protect their clients....agents are primarily liable to their brokers and to keeping transaction volume going by not ruffling other agents...

A lawyer isn’t going to take the time to show a buyer multiple homes for days/weeks months or years. The commission paid is subjective to the time spent for the agent to help buyers look at multiple homes over time that is unknown. A lawyer will not do that for a flat fee. 😊

@@melodygarcia7733 You don't need a buyers agent to look at a home. You can contact the seller's agent of that home directly and set an appointment for them to show you the home.

@@melodygarcia7733 90% of homes are found by buyers themselves online and just need a body to let them in the door. The era of letting people into many homes and showing them around for weeks no longer actually really exists. And if you want that, feel free to go find somebody to chauffeur and babysit you for $15,000.

Some states already have attorney review. They aren't interested in doing half the things you are suggesting. They are also not readily available to speak with. How do I know? I work with real estate attorneys every day.

So you are giving ALL the buying power to Wall Street investors once again. Because who would offer that extra fee? Nobody but the Wall Street investors. So now a buyer is only going to get a house if we pay for the sellers realtor too! Go Wall Street! “They will own nothing, and we will own everything”, and they will just have to get used to it”.
