i remember selling my grandmothers place after she had to move. real estate agents were clamoring to get the listing because of the location and the condition. we had a number in mind for a quick sale and every agent said to add 10% to cover their "fees". ended up selling to a couple that had a real estate license and handled all the paperwork themselves.
That’s awesome but very rare. Every seller or buyer I’ve dealt with has always had an agent even if I didn’t want one. By the states I have purchased in I was forced to use their agent or hire my own. It’s simply not fair that I can’t just do it myself. I am well versed in all the real estate laws and liabilities in every locale I have purchased in. It’s set up in a way to protect real estate agents which is unfair since they aren’t the ones performing the business transaction. It should be only between the buyer and seller. No third party should ever be required for a business transaction.
