I agree with everything John R. said and especially agree with a lot of what toucano said. ALL industries change over time, and real estate is no exception. Those who fail to watch the industry, recognize changes on the horizon and adapt to it will die out. And always, those who fail to provide extensive, valuable and accurate information should not be a part of our profession.
People don't go after car salespeople for their commissions, because you don't see it (its not itemized or public).
People feel free to attack Realtors because, unlike other people paid on commission, ours is clearly disclosed. At least we're honest about what we're being paid.
