Give it some time. Useful to look into why Redfin never really took off.

There's so much fat in real estate outside of the agent fee, too. Mortgage closing costs, title insurance, escrow fees... it's ripe for improvement full-stack.

The fact that real estate agents haven't suffered from the same negative publicity as banks for their part in the housing bubble tells you everything you need to know about their political power.
