Why are not sellers waking up? Don't they ever think of saving that 6%?

They think probably they will find the best price for their house only if they list it on listings that gain the most visibility. It is a vicious cycle, this whole realtor-buyer-seller-realtor loop.

May be they could go through all the trouble of selling the house on their own, but only could get 6% lesser than what the seller agent could have gotten.

The masses have been brainwashed so much that I am afraid if they'd ever wake up to this realty scam.

pretty much this. Buyers arrive with their own bids. The more buyers you can reach the higher the top bid will be, generally speaking.

I've gotta pay 10% on a ebay auction this month, so I know the feeling.

I guess so.

Yes they have. Like elites who control the Government-Finance complex, and the pop media, mislabeling Rising Prices as Inflation, where instead, Rising Prices can be (can also not be) an effect from inflation. Rising Prices can also be caused by Supply versus Demand during a time of deflation.

Some Realtors have access to pocket listings, contacts at bank real estate departments, etc. stuff thats not in MLS.

Of course, the really great deals will be purchased by the Realtor themselves.

Hey Boy,
it's Realtor®, okay?

The ONLY reason for low budget "trained" Realtors ( 90% of the coven) is the FACT they control the real estate market for their "big shot" brokers by sniffing out FSBO's to get MLS listings at ever higher and higher prices. Now that the inventory is busting at the seems, THEY DON"T WANT INVENTORY...unless it's a long torturous sale of a bank owned REO ...that still screams a too high price.

Back to your question. Once the criminal indictments start coming down, the Realtors will provide personal entertainment for the other rapists, murderers and dope dealers in prison.

Lets stalk about it HOW MUCH DO THESE MORONS have to know if they get take a state test after a weekend class in an Real Estate school with a "NO PASS---NO Pay" policy.

Check this one out--->http://www.californialicense.com/?gclid=CMGt0pno-KQCFcrt7QodxCAzhQ&gclid=CPP7ssW6-KkCFSN5gwodJH-naw $99 + ANY 4 yr degree = CAL state real estate BROKERS LICENSE. It sounds difficult? Are you alive? Have a pulse ? Do you have the ability to get room temperature IQ ( in the winter) if you try? No applicants with IQ above 70 need apply.

Contiued- If you are as dumb as a post---YOU might be qualified. Hookers are a profession with higher requirements. At least with them you know your are going to get ZXcrewed!

I actually took the first class in the real estate salesperson sequence at a city college in 2008 . . . waste of time, doing it online is much better.

I recommend every buyer get their salesperson license, most of the stuff on the tests is pretty useful information in general.

Hell, everyone should sit for the broker license test. If you've got a 4 yr degree you don't have to have any experience as a salesperson, it's just 5 more courses in addition to the 3 for salesperson.
