Discount Realtors are Realtors just like you!

Today buyers are finding the listings they want to see off the internet. Buyers are able to search area MLS's on a multitude of websites. The buyer is researching and educating themselves about real estate to the point where they know as much or more than the real estate agent themselves. Real estate agents are actually benefiting because the buyer is handing the real estate agent the listings they want to see. After all a real estate agent has a lot of territory to cover in this ever changing market. 

Flat rate real estate is sweeping the country with great enthusiasm from sellers and buyers. There are some Realtors though, that are bad mouthing "flat rate real estate". They tell prospective sellers that the commission they charge is worth it. That they provide more. Well today there are more listings than ever before on the market. Are agents going to advertise every listing they have "in the real estate magazines"? No! Agents must concentrate on finding the buyer....and if the buyer brings a listing to an agent, and buys through that agent...is that agent willing to reward the buyer with a rebate from his or her commissions??
