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

It is a totally unfair game for buyers and sellers. These realtors are all work friends and play "get along, go along" . They are more concerned with not making their fellow realtors upset than fighting for their clients. They deal with these people on a daily basis sometimes. A random client (John) stands no chance in the loyalty test.

They will ALWAYS gravitate to making their friends in the business happy first.

NEVER EVER tell your realtor your limits or true intentions. They are tools to be used and not our trusted fiduciaries.

If a broker and their agents are representing a builder in tract housing everyone involved has an interest in moving those houses first...the builder, the broker, the lender...all have a vested interest in moving those houses first. If you list a home with that broker you will never have the leverage a builder has to move those crappy houses that are closed in 90 days after the first shovel of dirt is turned over...you are already on the hook for the industry, no one in the industry is going to be as active selling your existing home with a mortgage than they are a new home, with a construction loan waiting to be converted, in a tract where they spend an inordinate amount of money marketing....
