There's always one of those popping up. I have a transaction now where I'm representing the seller, but buyer decided he didn't need his agent. He is getting a big lesson in what it takes to buy a house without representation and without help. I doubt he'll do it again.

a total idiot...this is what he says:
Don't I need an agent to serve my best interest?
No. Your REX Agent is a fully licensed agent who will represent all of your needs and interests. Often homebuyers believe their interests are being served because they have separate representation; however, traditional buyers' agents are paid by the home seller. This formula has always served agents over consumers' interests.

The Evil Empire, with the support of major franchises, mega agents, and teams have established dominance through misrepresentation, deception, false data and stolen intellectual property.
Why would anyone object to a 'save money - live better' message.
This initiative is based on the knowledge that the true real estate professional will 'suck it up' and do whatever is needed to get the job done. Those who are bold enough to defer their responsibilities onto the true professional will benefit.
Now, the real question is, 'What will the professional do when they encounter the predator brokerage/agent?"
Agents tolerated Zillow. Agents tolerated Redfin. Now we've got RidEx Real Estate. What to do?
Being a REALTOR and local association member, the agent will find their options very limited.

Hook, Line, Sinker!
Sad that a listing company is masking the truth that the fee is negotiated between the seller and the broker, & the buyer has no say in the matter. So if they are waiving representation they are just giving more money to the listing representative. They are not saving and they are not being best served in this scenario.
Sounds like a broker that just does not want to represent buyers, so they are willing to throw the purchase side for their sellers out the window.

Yes, we've had them out here in SoCal for a while. Very few of them sell. They are basically a fancy version of "Help-U-Sell" but with the key difference that they are not members of the MLS and do not cooperate with other agents. They rely on facebook ads to sell the house and if an agent does bring an offer they have to talk their client into writing the commission into the offer and/or paying them directly.

I went over to the REX site and do believe that it could work in certain markets. They also offer buyer representation :-/ Seems like their agents in the states where they are licensed are being paid a salary not a percentage or/of commissions. Truthfully there is NO savings guaranteed - especially if a property is overpriced to begin with.
They probably are members of each MLS to scour the database for expired listings.

Hello David, I heard about rexcharge.com. I don't have extensive information about this new company.

they can't trust me as a seller's agent all they want, but that won't save them any money. My listing agreement pays what it pays if I sell it or if someone else sells it, buyers got NOTHING to do with that.
