[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are we all doing this little song and dance? It's inflating house prices. Why not just pay 2% less on house prices and the realtors get paid hourly like overseas? I feel like the 5-6% that realtors charge is a bubble on top of house prices. It's like if moving costs were added into your house price too. [/quote]

+1 The Freakanomics book highlighted this.  The current system benefits no one except the agents.     [b]Pay people for the time they put into your house.  Hourly rate agents are the way of the future.[/b]

I don't know why it doesn't just say sold for 800k, realtor's fees 40k. And then the sellers pay the realtors separate from the house price. A house that's sold by owner with no realtor's fees would look cheaper than the one with realtor's fees if you're using them as comps, but they could be comparable houses.

When I buy a car, the dealer fee is separate.[/quote]
