Is there a service industry more useless than realtors?

I can’t understand why anyone would pay these folks 6% of your sale/buy.
At most, they should be charging a flat $2K-$3K for their paperwork services.
They have also structured their industry to look exactly like a pyramid scheme.
FSBO is the way to go.

How much did they take you for?

I'm in the process of FSBO with my house. Paid a realtor 1k for the contract. Couldn't be any easier. I had a contract on my house before it was even ready to sell. Close in 3 weeks.

I paid a realtor 2.5% who brought me a buyer last fall. He was fine with it. Showed my house once, the last of four they looked at that day, emailed me an offer the next morning, two emails later, we had an agreement.
Easy for me, easy for him.

In this market, when houses are selling in 24-48 hours, I'm sure this is being negotiated a lot.

I’m happy I had one when I bought my first house. I had no idea wtf I was doing

It all depends on how quickly you need to buy or sell.
I used FSBO to sell a house in 2011 and it was relatively easy. If I was purchasing I'd use an agent though.

Travel agent? Idk, maybe.

I've used realtors to buy that gave me really good advice about getting the best deal.

Really depends on if you know the market and what your house should be listed for or not

Astrology.
I don't need this industry; I'm perfectly capable of using a telescope to look at the planets (mandatory Uranus reference included) and figure exactly how they are making next week's romance interest a psycho woman. It's simple everyday science. Textbook redundant industry.

Hate em.
Scum.

A really good realtor is worth the cost.
Most realtors aren’t really good though, so that’s the crux of the problem.

I have friends who are realtors. They’re useful for those too ignorant to use Google. Or those too busy and willing to pay. Not for me though and I hate that they represent their position as being necessary to all transitions

Uh. No
Owner sales are a mistake.
For sale by owner might as well say “sucker”
Buyers take advantage of owner sales. When it comes to inspections, appraisals and repairs, an agent is invaluable.
A good agent knows who the good inspectors are and they can counter bad appraisals with real data. Appraisers are scared of a good agent.
They also know of the best contractors.
Fsbo is a mistake.
Get a good , reputable agent and rest easy

They were very useful when I purchased my home(s). When I sold my first one, he was fantastic. I had already moved hours away for a job and he took care of everything for me.
I guess they have good ones and bad ones.
