There's a bit of responsibility the buying realtor should have taken.

I know there's realtors here but i'm going to say it anyway. Realtors don't GAF about people and their money. They only care about their commish. Prove me wrong!

Sarcasm got lost. My appologies. I don't care if there are realtors on here. They all are terrible.

My wife has her License but only uses it for our personal transactions. The stories she told me when she was active just makes me shake my head. Even buying and selling our own shit has me shaking my head.

Did a man who lives in a drawer somewhere in Asia just stand in front of the class and say "you three - by the flagpoles after school!¡!!"
???


Sounds hawt!

Certainly sounds like it wants our lunch money. Probably to backstop some poor real estate investments

I would be curious about which all you can eat Chinese buffet would meet the culinary standards of beyond.

The one in The Bow is actually pretty good.

[msommers]

I don't think any other space where someone's salary is completely commission-based would be any different.

I talk clients out of buying certain properties all the time, I’m not desperate for a quick deal, I know many are, but I always give my opinion, it’s not always taken, but many times it is.

You need to find a realtor who doesn’t rely on their commissions for a living. Someone who just does it because they enjoy helping others.

The more experienced and sophisticated you are, the less it matters. Inexperienced buyers benefit most from a broker. I'd be comfortable using a bank, but for some reason have never gotten a competitive quote from mine.

Same here, I give my bank a chance everytime, and it's always terrible, versus brokers are basically like "here is the best rate, sign here"

Nothing worse than part time realtors.


Shouldn’t be allowed, this pisses me off more than anything.

RECA & CREB need to crack down on this, makes the industry look like a joke.

[suntan]

That’s because the industry is a joke.

[killramos]

Yea come on, real estate is all about helping others.

Filthy casuals

In a lot of ways it is.

There are some really good people out there that do a great job.

I wish there was way more accountability and rules in place to protect all parties involved.

As of now there is very little.

I bitch about it all the time, it’s very frustrating.

[ExtraSlow]

Well, that there are a significant portion of realtors who make the entire industry look like a joke is something we can all agree on. The people that sell one house a year aren't who I'd start with, but whatever.

[msommers]

Isn't the idea of not needing to rely on commission, and the job being casual/part-time, essentially the same thing?

It’s this type of attitude that doesn’t help matters, not just in this industry, but the world in general.

Nobody gives a fuck

No

There are people that actually enjoy what they do and if you choose to take that responsibility it should be a full time commitment.

Like anything in life that requires responsible action.

I heard a rumour ‘coupe was going to start doing 1% flat commissions to fix the system.

Cause he’s only doing this to help people and doesn’t need the commission.

I adjust my rates accordingly, some people need it more than others.

It’s the biggest investment/ decision of most peoples lives, decisions should never be taken lightly.

[ExtraSlow]

I hassle coupe, but I don't think he's one of the guys giving realtors a bad name.

More regulations is bad for the most part. I prefer to let the market figure this stuff out.

Full time realtor who doesn't rely on commissions for a living... What should they rely on? High income spouse?

RECA is useless… can’t hang my license at a brokerage cause it’s a conflict, but can’t renew my license without a brokerage even though I’m doing more volume than 99.9% of brokers… but I could renew if I was a PT broker working FT in an unrelated industry and did a deal… never.
