Let me explain from a woman's perspective:
Wants something that looks nice if she's going to look at it everyday for the rest of her life.
Cannot tell the difference between a CZ and a diamond.
Still wants a diamond.

Pennsylvania Station in Manhattan,
I'm pretty sure I remember reading that the demolition of penn station created a huge uproar and its demolition fueled a national movement for the preservation of historic landmarks.
Eta: LINK "In 1962 plans were revealed to demolish the terminal and build entertainment venue Madison Square Garden on top of it. The new train station would be entirely underground and boast amenities such as air-conditioning and fluorescent lighting.
Vocal backlash and protests ensued, but the plan moved forward and Penn Station was demolished.
The outrage was a major catalyst for the architectural preservation movement in the United States. In 1965, the New York Landmarks Law was passed, which helped save the iconic Grand Central Terminal and more than 30,000 other buildings from similar fates. 2015 marks its 50th anniversary."

98% of Realtors don't do anything more than put a sign up/ put it in the MLS and wait for the phone to ring.
Can they still get a market rate price doing this?

Yes that proprietary method and the possibility of client steering are the two driving factors for why you hire an agent to sell your house.

I say they should allow individuals to access to the MLS for a fee of x dollars per month. If a realtor's marketing, understanding of contracts, ability to negotiate a higher price, etc are worth the 6% the market will continue to use their service. Make all the information accessible to the masses and earn your commision by providing a service. I'm of the opinion that a realtor's services are necessitated due to their control of the MLS and client steering

If open access to the MLS was available (for a fee) to buyers and sellers, I think the residential realtor would become obsolete

Ok buddy. I understand. You are a GC and you believe it's best to hire you because you took a test and have some insurance.

Haha I was just being sarcastic, I am currently self building a house (not a GC btw). I was knocking the cost plus model earlier in the thread.

No you don't. And I doubt your ludicrous claims that you were able to hire a plumber capable of installing a claw foot tub all by himself.

The same kind of coordination and oversight required when installing a high end quartzite vs uba tuba?

Cost + 10%:
You pick a $500 standard tub. Builder makes $50.
You pick a high end $5000. Builder makes $500.
All the GC did in both cases was call a plumber. What did he do to earn an extra $450?

Three ways a builder could do the job:
1) cost plus a %
2) cost plus a flat fee
3) one flat price to do the job (the contract will have details for what happens in the event there are changes)
Option three is once you already have plans and specs etc
