You Need a Realtor For What? Allen Greenspan 07-31-2005
What we see in these posts are desperate and misguided attempts to scare
consumers to maintain the status quo, i.e., exorbitant realtor fees and
commissions. In the kind of market we currently have, most homes 90%+ are
sold from the signage, not MLS.

I suggest you FSBO or insist that the Help U Sell agent does not list with
MLS, as it reduces the seller proceeds by 3%, which I feel is foolish in the
kind of market we have. Realtors always say the house was sold under market
if they do not get a fat commission.

I've sold several homes FSBO, gotten more than the sales price and closed
in days, not months. Realtors are scared to death that the general public
will learn that Realtors, like a parasite, offers little to the consumer in
relationship to what they take. A good loan officer could instruct you and
since the loan officer and title company do 95% of the work involving the
sale of real-estate, you will never miss the realtor. But you will keep 3%
more of your proceeds at closing\

Watch the rancorous responses this simple truth brings from the traditional
real-estate community.
