I could never understand how RE agents can make these massive sales commissions. Out west their commissions can be $35,000 to million$...
All this big money for these sales people and all they do is some paper work? A few phone calls?
It’s 100% bull sh*t.
The prices which you base your house’s value on were established by sales which were advised and marketed by market experts. Your expectations of a sale price are several percent higher than they would have been without selling and buying agents. Agents don’t “make” their commissions as profit. There are advertising and other expenses.
