Buying or selling financial products, stocks, bonds at one time generated fees much higher than now, granted a very different industry, even so the communication revolution of the internet has made many changes and that continues, the ability of a seller to list and have wide exposure is going to change the sales model as more and more people sell their own home. I don't doubt that real estate agent can be a great help and do many thing that are not apparent to the seller, but how can events do anything but put downward pressure on the current fee system ?
