I’m glad to see TheXBroker taking on the realty agent position that somehow the comoditization of the real estate industry shouldn’t apply to them. In his post Buyer Agents Beware he says:
Look deeply- protecting the Listing is all about keeping the Buyers Agent alive and over funded. What other purpose does ‘proprietizing’ a Listing serve?
Really, how difficult is it to ‘be’ a Buyers Agent today and get paid tens-of-thousands of dollars to show someone else’s data?
Think about this. When you refinance your home or get a mortgage of any type you’re paying typically anywhere from 1 - 4% for the loan. And if you’re paying 4% you’re getting screwed a bad mortgage. So to think that a Buyer’s agent can somehow realistically maintain a position that the 3% that they receive is some how worth their service is absurd. If you are paying 6% (3% to the buyer agent and 3% to the seller) than you have ended up with a blown purchase. Remember you have options, resources, and LEVERAGE - use them and don’t pay 6%!
