Will getting my house appraised lower my det to income without having to refinance? 

News flash sellers feel ripped off and every agent looks at a listing as a lottery, this is why the ibuyers are coming hard at the commissions, the only thing that has kept the wolves at bay is the monopoly that the NAR has and the relationship an agent has with the seller.

The statistics on the industry(NAR) tend to show the national average for Realitors is 7-8 houses sold annually.

Average yearly commission for agents in 2018 according to NAR is like $9800 within 2 years.

answered below:All real estate licensees are real estate agents, but not all agents are Realtors.The primary difference is that Realtors are members of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the [insert name of state] Association of Realtors and most often are board members in a local Association of Realtors.According to Realtor Associations, board-member Realtors are held to higher standards and a strict code of ethics. 

The job is very missunderstood by the public and most agents struggle to make a living - look up the NAR stats.

For example, between mortgage forbearance being mandated and the time it takes to foreclose, it could easily be 6-12 months before we see any foreclosure related sales.Anything written by a realtor or published by any organization in the real estate industry (NAR, HBA, PPAR, Lenders, etc.) should not be trusted.

I’m sure folks saw this already, but just in case you didn’t:https://www.bisnow.com/national/news/economy/nar-recent-irs-tax-deadline-extensions-benefit-1031-exchanges-103865

Its about $1500 per year for everything (technology fees, NAR fees, Indiana NAR fees, etc).

Keep in mind, though, that there are ongoing costs associated with keeping a license active (NAR dues, MLS dues, E&O insurance).
