The internet has changed the world. But not, it seems, real estate. The system works the sale old way it's always worked, with the seller paying a 3% commission to the buyer's agent. That creates a giant conflict of interest with the buyer! Plus, 3% is an awful lot to pay your agent, when let's face it, the buyer did most of the work in finding the house. Consider hiring a lawyer instead of a real estate broker. A dedicated advocate, at a fraction of the cost.
