Geez – what started out as a simple question (Can a buyer’s agent justify their value?) turned into WW3.
I wonder why such a simple question made urbanrealtor, normally a thoughtful poster, turn into a raging lunatic?
My impression is that asking for a rebate from a good buyer’s agent may be the best way to go, although the good Dr. has shown that a) a buyer’s agent provides little value for a buyer with half a brain and b) RE agents will result to petty insults to protect a faulty system (except SD Realtor – Who seems to have formed a reasonable opinion on his own.)
