You get what you pay for...sellers beware!
Exactly. Any agent who works for peanuts is nothing but a scrub. Good agents who spend money on their clients and business and put their ass into their vocation cannot survive on that. Another issue is that lower priced listings won't get action or just won't get sold by agents at all.
Pros work off incentive, which is why I was never worried about tech cutting into agents business. People will always need lots of professional help with real estate, regardless of how properties get listed.
