I mean real estate agents are crazy to think they deserve the pay they get.
Why? Mine did a shit ton of work for me and fought the sellers to get them to do the shit the appraiser wanted done.
As well as working for almost a year looking at different houses before we finally found the right one
3% (as customary is 6%, split evenly to each realtor) of 485100 is about 15k
So a few hours of emails and phone calls is somehow $15k worth of work?
They probably had 50 other clients also during that time. Some of them pan out and is the 15k payday. Ultimately they only need to sell (or buy) like 10 houses a year to make a better living than you likely have. Less than 1 a month.
They realtor doesn't get all of that $15k. I forget the actual numbers but the company they work for gets a chunk as well as other people. Yes, there is a $15k commission but that's not all going to the agent.
