[quote=Anonymous][quote]Just an FYI -- attorney based brokerages are popping up all over the nation. There are several in the DC metro area. I think they are pretty popular in California too. I think this is some evidence of change. If the consumer has the same info as the agent, the agent needs to provide some value to the transaction. [/quote]

That sounds terrific.  I certainly appreciated our realtor's help with some of the forms etc., but frankly, I negotiate for a living and know this area well, can pull comps off realtor.com or zillow, and felt that 10 percent was way too much to pay someone to sit at our open houses and deal with some forms.  They do provide a service that has some value, but it is not in proportion to the amount that they are paid as a percentage commission.  
I would say the situation would be quite different for someone moving to a completely new area.  I think that in that scenario, a realtor could be very helpful in finding out what's what with the neighborhoods, where you might want to look etc.[/quote]
