Doesn’t it bother you at all to have your own profession held in contempt by a large segment of the population?

I am not saying realtors don’t work hard because some of them do. However how has the industry revolutionized itself over the past 30 or 40 years? What has justified the tremendous increase in revenues of participants in that industry? While your commission percentage stays the same you would have no doubt made much more money year over year for the past 6 years if you made the same number of sales correct?

So agreed the main factor is how much does additional market make. So if say there is a brokerage that will do everything a full service brokerage does except brokers tours and open house but that they do it for 1% commission as opposed to 3%. So is that to say that these two facets add a full 2% value to the client who uses a full service brokerage? I am not trying to be flippant. As an engineer I am anal about numbers so I am just trying to do the math.

Anyways if you would like to answer them in a direct manner great. If not that is okay as well.
