Its maddening!

Instead of eating leftovers we eat hot n ready pizzas, instead of paying for a college class and doing it get ahead we buy a six pack and play madden, instead of driving our old car we buy a new one.

I play Madden football on my Xbox while I do the elliptical.

I am completely shook and uncertain of what to do!

You are getting shook down 

Her whole room shook and they couldn't have anything on the walls because it always fell off.

From a free market point of view disrupting the commission system will make things work exactly as they should - good agents will command even more money and everyone else will be shook out of the system.

Then there is the magnificent duo of Peter Andrews (https://casetext.com/case/wiedis-v-dreambuilder-invs-llc) and the lovely Madden family (can't find any court records at the moment but I personally know one attorney who is in settlement discussions w/the Maddens for non-payment of fees, as well as 3 sets of investors who have been treated by the Maddens similarly to the way Ryan has been). 

Hi Madden, Welcome to the community- It would be best to work with an experienced agent to provide you guidance. 

REI is challenging, and if it seems easy or maddeningly difficult you're not doing it right.
