Technically, things like real estate, law, medicine, etc. are not monopolies. In a true monopoly, it is impossible to enter the monopolized area. On the other hand, these professions do have high barriers to entry. The question that you have to ask yourself is which is the better deal – doing whatever is necessary to overcome those barriers in order to enter the profession (as bearishgurl described), or paying for the services of someone else who has overcome the barriers. It’s very dependent on what you want to do in life and in business.

The midwest excludes the southern row of states (including OK). I would agree with the maps that wikipedia provides:

Midwest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midwest_us

Southwest: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_US

Southern U.S. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_US

The data that you point to about Russians is from the mid 90s, shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Do you think it continues, now that it’s easier for average Russians to emigrate?

The system evolved when the balance of real estate information greatly favored the agents. With the new availability of information on the internet, I think the system will adjust to reflect the current reality. Whether it’s strip mall brokerages or something else, I think the system will be significantly different in 15 years.
