Discount real estate brokerage, a world to learn about
Brokers are doing less work for their real estate commissions as more people rely on the power of the Internet to buy and sell homes. As a result, some Multiple Listing Service real estate agencies have begun offering flat fee listing services to sellers, in which they function primarily as points of contact for the sellers and their prospective buyers. Now buyers are finding that, in actuality, they are doing part of the brokers work by finding their future homes online and believe they have earned a real estate commission rebate. As is the case with flat fee services, there are some brokers who are reluctant to work with buyers without agents to show the homes. However, others will argue that, in a real estate slump, properties should be made available to all prospective home buyers regardless of the sales method.
