Instead of writing a blog about balconies, I think realtor.com should post about how realtors across America fleece the consumer for 6% thanks to their monopoly practices (just because they can, on an infrequent but important purchase) and keep on charging a percentage of the transaction value when in fact all they do is provide a fixed quantity of labor for selling/buying a house no matter what the size or cost (and by the way, all the while colluding between the seller and buyer's agents to inflate purchase prices).
How about that for an FAQ?

- dkdk8283 6y agoI got fucked by my last realtor so I got licensed - I’ll be my own agent for my next purchase.
- supernova87a 6y agoHow much work was that (getting qualified) and then how much work to be your own agent during the transaction? Any guides on how to do it? Thanks!
- dkdk8283 6y agoJust look for licensing requirements in your state online. There are plenty of courses, study guides, etc. It took about a month of studying part time. I took a proctored test, passed a background check, and I’m all set. I haven’t used it yet. Planning to sometime in the next few years.
