His basic philosophy was “why help somebody earn thousands for a couple hours of work”.
That is certainly a valid point.
However, most deals I handle involve 100-200 hours of work and earn me less than than $10k. That is before backing out the cost of gas, supplies, and repairs (which often come out of my pocket).
Generally, unless an agent either offers limited service or has a second job (which implies limited service) there is not a great deal of extra cash to go around.
This does vary by agent, market, and client.
Most of the agents who hit it rich and offer big kickouts to buyers during the boom are in different line of work these days.
