re: National Association of Realtors agrees to end 6% commissions

I can guarantee you that if a listing agent has a house on the market and a buyer comes along and tells them they have to show them the house and if they decide to purchase that the listing agent just needs to fill out the purchase agreement for them and they’ll get an extra 1% of the sale every realtor would do that in a heartbeat. The paperwork can be done in 15 minutes through an app in your cell phone. Can also send them a quick contact for a great local inspector and mortgage company. Pretty simple for 1%. That is where I see this going. The people who are doing all the looking on Zillow and such will benefit greatly.

I’ve been looking online to buy a beach house for a while. You better believe I will tell that listing agent I expect them to deduct whatever her client wanted to give to a buyers agent and I’ll handle everything myself on that side.
