The real estate industry conspires and colludes to artificially inflate commissions. The most recent of settlements goes into effect soon and may (hopefully) be another step to normalize prices. |

| It would be great for homebuyers and sellers too, so much information is online and flat hourly fee should cover this service because realtors don't need a degree or experience to be in this business. |

| Every time a house was sold, 6% of commission increased cost causing artificial inflation. |

| There is no other similar high ROI job which expects no college education or job training. Realtors often use, "Would you do your own treatment or rather go with a physician?" line, without thinking how many years of schooling and training goes into it. |

Well they're overpaid anyway, lie, inflate the cost, and houses are selling themselves these days. |

| So glad agents will be paid less. They have so few qualifications. Half seem to be failed yoga teachers. |
