re: The home selling realtor setup is unfair to sellers and buyers

I guess then pay the buyers agent...

So how do you advertise and get eyeballs without involving an agent?

If I wanted maximum exposure without involving any agent, there has to be something better than FSBO.

Yep but selling agents will typically not show your house unless buyers specifically request it. Same with FSBO. I was offering agents a full 6% for bringing a buyer. Not a single agent brought a buyer to my house for a showing. Tons of them came to “look at it” only to beg me to list it with them.

It is 100% a racquet and will only get worse as our society gets lazier and dumber by the day. Most people are not competent and confident enough to go buy/sell a house without the realtor there to “advise” them along the way.

In my opinion they should get paid Time and Materials or Lump Sum by their respective clients. 6% from the seller is a bunch of BS.
