[quote=markmax33][quote=sdrealtor]Hmmm…online automation has transformed every sector. Of course it has. Last week, my neighbor had online bypass surgery. House on fire? Call the online fire department. Thats all for now, I gotta run and get my online haircut.[/quote]
The problem with that is those are skilled people actually doing something with their hands. If you automate the paperwork, have online tours, etc you can easily replace a RE agent. It’s insanity to pay them 3% of a $1M transaction in a hot market. You can send a 23 year old marketing chick to the house and pay her $20/hr and have better results if you get it automated properly.[/quote]
The problem is you can only autmate so much in a RE transaction. Every one is different and thats alot of what you pay for. Someone who knows how to handle the different things that pop up. You could do 10 transactions yourself or with hot marketing chicks and be fine. Then wham. Please refer to Unpermitted addition thread. End of story
