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

I know I am probably going to get trolled out of my mind on this thread, but could you please convey to me why you literally want to eat Realtors' brains.
Reasons I can think of:
1. Dual Agency
2. Most of them have very little experience (Only ~5% do 10 transaction sides a year)
3. Horrible incentives on the buy side
4. Somewhat merky incentives on the sell side
5. ???
To me, you guys get on realtors a lot simply for trying to get people to buy/sell. Shouldn't buyers take more responsibility for their own actions and not blindly follow a salesman? For example, I don't pay attention to car salesman when I buy a car or eye glass salesman when I get new glasses.
