So that makes realtors “shitbags”?
Realtors work within the parameters they are given by NAR and the brokerages they are required to work under. Most are hard-working people trying to eek out a living and support their families.
Painting with that broad brush you wield is not only childish but insulting. And now you’ve moved on to insulting people who use realtors.
No one is forced to use a realtor. And no realtor can force anyone to list a home or buy a home. It’s a service. Some choose to use it, some don’t.

Don’t kid yourself, they care about 1 thing only: collecting a commission check.
Yes, it’s the cocky attitude the majority have that everyone else in the world is incompetent to buy/sell their own home and will let you know that. Or the fact that if you “negotiate” a lower commission rate, it’s insulting and they are entitled to the fruits of my labor. What makes you think you’re worth 3% of the sale of my 400k home? That’s $12,000. Let’s negotiate that rate to 1.5%, that’s $6000. Idc where and who the money is split to, not my problem but real estate agents negotiate back like it is my problem oh well I have to split with the other agent and my broker. Ok and?
Just a scummy “profession”
Sure I guess. What’s the split?
5% who do well
60% who do barely enough to get by
35% who quit
