I agree. Gone are the days of printing flyers and stapling them up, walking neighborhoods, going to courthouses for records, and the draining of resources to filter searches for a buyer. Most of the leg work now is done by computer. Commissions don’t need to be 50 thousand for the sale of a million dollar home. The handout is an insane amount.
