If she is truly concerned about seller feelings, why doesn’t she lower her commission?

Prudential, I believe, is the last hold-out in lowering commissions, and they are at 5% or 6%. If she really wants to help people, lower it to 1% for her half.

Her plea reminds me of senators, eager to please their voters, asking Bernanke why he keeps raising interest rates. If they really wanted to help the economy, those same senators would pressure Congress to tighten lending guidelines, overhaul GSEs, and reduce the deficit.

That lady is just like a lame senator. She issues a bunch of words to schmooze her clients, instead of taking the action that will make a difference: tell the client to lower the price.
