So, if I had a high-end home, let's say I bought it for $549,000 a 3000SF 3bd/3bth with mature landscaping, backing onto the wildlife preserve (with low fencing), a birdcage with a heated pool and spa, 3-car garage plus a 2-cart garage plus a front screened in porch, no carpeting, gourmet kitchen, italian marble tiling, walk-in shower, etc. etc. etc.

And I sold it when I decided to downsize - and didn't use any real estate agent at all.. did a "for sale by owner" thing on Facebook..or here on ToTV..

you're saying the house is worthless because there wasn't any agent getting 6% of the sales price as commission?

Are you really seriously believing that?
