"but what about real estate agents that get paid 6-7% for the sale of a home"
Contractors all need a tip share....the tax man needs a tip share...the housing authority needs a tip share, local municipalities need a tip share, LOL

I see where you are going with TIP SHARE
Lets all give all our money to the Government and let them tip share to everyone in the U.S. So we all make the exact same amount.
What a wonderful idea, hey has anyone ever thought of this before,hmmmmm...

Well actually here in Mass. it used to be 6% Real Estate fee, now it's 4%.
The Broker gets 2%, the listing agent gets 1% (sometimes .5%) the selling agent gets 1%, (sometimes 1.5%)
So I guess you could say they "tip share".
