You will pay at most around $500 for quality real estate photography. That in of itself is probably the most important factor when listing your home, outside of accessing MLS database. Being able to have your info out there in 2024 and beyond is how people will find your house. You really don't need someone to sell your house online because there are people who will look form a computer to find it. And again, I think that's why people have problems with realtors. 2% on $200k is $4,000. And for what is the realtor doing? Nothing that can't be figured out by an average person who uses google on "how to FSBO".

You could say this about almost any industry? Why should I pay a contractor 20%+ to build a deck, I can just google building a deck and get it done myself right?

Its not always that easy.

The biggest issue with Real Estate that I don't know the answer to is its not a 9-5 M-F. You guys complaining about the commission are justified but who is going to show a house at 7pm on a friday night and 9am on a Sunday morning? The shite hours are worth something, and unfortunately that's a lot more than most people are willing to admit.

You want to close a deal this Sunday evening before the deadline Monday? How much do you think a lawyer would charge to make his arse come in and get it done? lol

Google can maybe help you sell or buy a house, but can Google give you a blowjob for a listing? Can Google take a photo of you with a giant key in a title company conference room?

It’s amazing how little people in this thread actually know about being a realtor.
