[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But the doctor gets paid for their time, no?  What people are essentially saying is that the agent's time is not valuable.  The buyer I showed 100 homes to was a particularly difficult client, she changed her mind every time we got together.  She would be the first to admit that she was a tough client.  I've been an agent for over 10 years, I don't think anyone owes me anything but the courtesy of respecting me as a person with other clients and a family.  Do you think it's ok to essentially use someone?  We don't get retainers or advance fees.  So it's okay for me to show you houses, do the research on the neighborhoods, share my expertise of ten years and then you say, oh never mind?  I agree with you that there are some awful agents out there, but most of us are honest, hardworking people.  As an agent, my first and only duty is to my client and I would hope they would at least be honest with me in return.[/quote]

If agents want to be paid for their time, that's fine. Propose that fee structure.  Do you want to be paid by the hour?  How does $100/hour sound?  When i purchased by last huse for $600,000, the agents combined took $30,000 - and sure didn't work 300 hours between them.  Sound good? Didn't think so.

Agents are paid based on the successful completion of a transaction. Period. That's the compensation structure YOU have demanded, and insisted upon for decades. Doctors aren't paid that way - they get paid by the appointment, whether they successfully treats your illness or not.  It is just ridiculous for agents to noisy upon absurdly high commission fees and then insist that they also are entitled to be compensated for their time. [/quote]
