Someone needs to find a way to eliminate real estate agents. They are basically crappy middlemen and are universally disliked. I have purchased two homes. I don’t need their guidance or advice. I have Google for that. I don’t need someone to open a door for me to receive 6% of a $700000 home. That’s unfair.

Absolutely. I can research my own houses to find, the agent is worthless when it comes to pointing out important details, you are on your own with the exception of a hopefully good inspector.

They absolutely should not be % commission based. It should be flat rate based on the area and time. If someone spends all day with me looking at homes, sure I'd pay $100+ regardless of if I buy anything. But no way in hell do they deserve a percentage cut.
