There are many examples of disintermediation in the B2C space. (Dell, Apple, amazon etc)

Examples in the C2C space: Uber, kijiji, ebay, etsy, in some ways youtube/instagram/podcasting

This is good data to my point.

Hey, knock it off with your passive-aggressive critiques! 89coupe is the Lebron James of RE.

I'm basically being the opposite of passive aggressive. I'm saying exactly what my point is as directly as possible, lol.

[ExtraSlow]

Coupe takes it a little too personally.

[XylathaneGTR]

See my edit
It's funny to me that 89c calls you passive aggressive, yet dismisses your discourse with the same tactic.

Yeah, if I were him I'd just brag and say "oh well motherfuckers, I'm taking advantage while I can!"

Is 89coupe the same Brad that makes those youtube videos?

I see this whole thing as a slightly larger, slightly more complicated version of travel agents; a third party to facilitate a transaction for you with a cut via commission. Market innovations have decimated their industry with a few hold-outs remaining until their clients die, or offering niche services (e.g. corporate, but even then it's a very limited scope transactional process with little-to-no commission).

The size of the transaction, and dominant systems such as MLS enable RE agents to hold-out and remain, but the factors to erode their place are present, and it would be ignorant to think otherwise.

Isn't that what posting the same picture of your m5 at a carwash every day achieves?

Go ask an investment bank what their cut has been to sell an energy asset over the past 5 years compared to 10-15 years ago.

Just one example.

I would have thought that had more to do with (lack of) deal flow and less (if anything) to do with technological disruption...

Stockbrokers are basically extinct.

Retail stores - those are all brokers.

Cabs. Utterly destroyed due to ride share.

You're absolutely right, but those are all essentially widgets (stocks, shoes, contact lenses, etc) that have been disrupted for the better at a lower cost to the consumer.

Same as above re: Dell etc... And the C2C space is not quite the same as the increased efficiencies are providing more exposure, but not really replacing an agent or middleman.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. In my earlier post, I was referring to transacting non-commodity, non-widgets and the lack of disruption in those spaces... Which I'm still not seeing a ton of examples. Any time there's a unique high-value asset still seems to benefit from an advisory agent and hasn't largely been disrupted (as far as I can tell, hence asking for examples).

I would argue the unique bit, but I get it.

Maybe BaT and Cars and Bids would be another example. Kinda.

The cost will not be zero. The cost can be lowered. Eventually I suspect it will be a flat rate service.

Maybe Beyond should setup a “sell my house section”.

Haha

If I sell my house for 1% commission will you show it?

I mean arguably with a good home inspector and shakalaka, why wouldn't it work lol plus Beyond pays cash

There's probably five or fewer beyonders who make more than 89coupe. The rest of us are just idiots who make much less per working hour.

It’s called an interview process.

I don’t hire someone without interviewing them and seeing their credentials.

That goes for anything of value in life.

Please tell me your OBJECTIVE criteria for interviewing someone you hire as a realtor.

Seriously, I mean you are a rockstar, give me a list, I'd love to know how to evaluate a potential realtor.

If I have a client who wants your house, of course.

What Realtor wouldn’t?
