My bad. Sarcasm, nuance, etc., are hard to detect in texts

Apologies

Lucia,

Am I reading what you wrote correctly? 

You think it is greedy for the Seller* to want to keep 2-3% in their [own] pocket? 

You can't be serious with that statement?

* In a few months, I'll be one of those sellers. And you damn well better believe I want to keep that 2-3% in my pocket; as well every other intelligent seller in America. 

The Daily, the NY Times Podcast - discusses the recent NAR bombshell decision that rocked the real estate world.

BTW - Did you know that the NAR owns the company that makes the lock boxes that agents use every day? Did you also know that they also own Docusign, the company that almost every real estate agent and broker uses when completing online transactions? The NAR is simply a monopoly whose time has come. It is now being predicted, that within 5 years, NAR could lose almost 65% of their members due to this ruling.

The agent I am leaning towards has been in this market for about 5-7 years. He has stellar reviews. I've spoken with past clients directly, all have nothing but positive things to say

 whatever you do for a living, no matter how much money you make, how many millions is supposed sales you do, build, etc., Your attitude is pathetic. Thank God I don't lie in Nevada

You guys would be the LAST agents I would ever use to sell my house. I feel sorry for your clients

 Wow, what an ignorant and asinine statement. 

 what exactly are you referring to?

what percentage of real estate agents work part-time?

what is the turnover for real estate each year?

you are speaking of a very small percentage of the overall agent market

It is similar to actors. There is a very, very small percentage that actually make real money actin. The overwhelming number don't
