I 100% agree. I never read a post in which someone was bashing realtors. Agents chose to work in a sales profession. They should understand THE BUYER and SELLER'S needs are more important than their own.

In real estate, a person can choose from several options: FSBO, the use of a buyers agent, or dealing direct with the listing agent. If an agent gets let out in the cold, it is not bashing. That is how sales works. You win some, you lose some!

When you buy a car do you deal with the first salesman you meet or do you continue to look at other options? It is the same with realtors. No need to work with the first one who knocks on your door.
