There has to be a world where there are more options out there for the consumer/buyer to choose the level of service they want (full service, limited service, and self-service) and effectively get back part of the buyer agent commissions as a form of a refund -- or just have more leverage in the transaction because they aren't represented.Thoughts?

I only have one problem that is a little bit hard for a person with my level of education and experience to admit.   

.• With recent demand, asking market rent growth is soaring, to its highest level in 20 years at 12.9%.• More than half of San Diego submarkets recorded double-digit rent growth and asking market rents have grown by an average of 17% YOY ($2,600/month).• The current pipeline of 7,300 units will be unlikely to apply much upward pressure on regional vacancy rate.
