Beause todays agents are enabling predatory investor groups that use cash at auctions. The small guy can not compete with that. These groups just do a half Hass job restoring the homes without touching the plumbing, wiring ,windows, insulation roofs and flip for insane profits. Then the connected lenders will not accept VA buyers beause they may need to wait an extra week for an appraiser. the system is so messed up and cut-throat, this is not a real market and prices are being pushed up again.
Thank you greedy Wallstreet and investment groups.

I have yet to meet a real estate agent who added any value to the transaction. They want thousands of dollars to list on MLS, raking in the dough just for posting a few photos and a piss poor description of property full of typos. If I could list on MLS as a private citizen without bowing down to the cartel I might consider them decent human beings. As it is , they are vultures.

Thanks, I've checked, it's not available in my whole state. None of the cartel members has crossed that line here, not enough competition I guess. But thank, you. It is a good idea, an agent had to be willing to accept the flat rate. Since they are mostly scum, it ain't happening here.

When I bought my house in 2003 I went through several bad realtors until I found a good one. Most of them were just trying to get me to buy a house that was way more expensive than I wanted.

Yep, gets purty hairy out there sometimes, the indigenous people shooting arrow at us and whatnot whilst we head to town in the wagon for supplies. No country for old men.

Last time I used mls2u.com, I liked it a lot, you do everything with them via web forms and email (at least in NY). According to their website they do MLS in ND:

I appreciate the idea, I actually took your suggestion last night and signed up. This morning however I got notice that they had refunded my $399 . Apparently no one in ND is signed up after all! What a disappointment!!!

Insert obligatory realtors are cartel scum comment

Let me make a distinction here between Real Estate sale people, and Real Estate agents.

I think there are plenty of people in the Real Estate business who work with clients. It's hard to make the distinction, but you should be able to make a decision during your research, and interview process.

Let me also say that you will never know more than some one in the business, who has longevity. It takes doing deals, winning some, and losing some, to know the business.

I have worked with several realtors over the past few years as a contractor and I am sad to say that only a handful of them have prove to be worthy of representing other people's interest. For the most part they are sneaky, slick sales people who have little to no ethics .. I just fired my own realtor because he can't seem to understand that sending out unlicensed and uninsured contractors to his clients homes is ILLEGAL !

I am sorry to say that for the most part I hate realtors
