re: Article: There are way too many real-estate agents

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
