If she adds value and the price is really market clearing, then surely she will thrive without the monopoly on brokerage that real estate agents have achieved.

If she adds value and the price is really market clearing, then surely she will thrive without the monopoly on brokerage that real estate agents have achieved. Personally, I have seen what real estate agents do, I refuse to pay their fees, and I resent their stranglehold on the market. I consider them part of the cause of the housing affordability crisis. I'm happy that online platforms are cutting the fees, but I won't be content until the brokerage charges a flat fee or charges by the hour.
