Austin mayor takes away the only stick we have, all the while the county continues to raise taxes, the low income sector is getting squeezed.  

My sector is different though in commercial because high net worth clients it's about the long term relationship and getting full service.With residential and cheap investor houses I can see lots of " one and done " deals where buyers do not see value in brokers/agents.
