A comment on Almost No One Pays a 6% Real-Estate Commission–Except Americans. Parent comment
As the average price has increase this has also gone up.
The fees are high for a low level of digital literacy and competency. Running anything more than a basic level of search is usually impossible.
A friend of mine had some decent parameters (distance to school, work, family, etc) and it seemed to boil their brain to find a way to map this.
It was almost o the point where my friend almost was going to become a realtor tog dt access to the data to run his own searches.
He calculated it was cheaper than the commission.
Realtors are like lawyers, too many don’t know everything but act like they do. The ones who specialize and actually are experts are worth it.
