A discount broker you'd have to fend for yourself and do all the things that you think are "easy" that an agent does.My clients don't have to do anything besides sign purchase/sale agreements when a buyer or seller is secured.

Not you, your agent, or a Zestimate.What's been the feedback on the property?

If MLS access is your only goal then becoming an agent is an expensive way to do it.

The great ones, will focus on buyers that are looking to buy retail.

Buyers and tenants want to be able to tour a property privately and speak freely while in a unit.

For selling, if you have a buyer and the amount is right that might be no agent.

RE Agents, Brokers, Lenders, etc.. have families to feed and provide for.

Offers consistently asked 4-8k at closing, ~10-15k price drop, and to pay for the buyers agent (3%).

More price sensitive than a normal home buyer unless there's something untapped to force appreciation.

Many agents include the buyer agent commission and then seek to share less of the transaction with the buyer agent's and keep more for themselves
