Doughboy.....this conversation, like many others on the internet, has progressed to its inevitable illogical conclusion.

Have already posted my personal reasons for not wanting MY listings to be displayed on the internet under conditions I can't control (and my clients would have agreed with me on that--it's their home, ya know what I mean? And it's my name on those listings, ya know what I mean?)

I do think many people on this thread expect far more from real estate brokerage than they are going to get. What they want (whatever that is) can't be provided, and they're looking for someone (the government, maybe?) to change the situation.

And I'd really like to know how the people writing on this thread, including you, know anything about "excessive profit" earned by Realtors. Could you cite any figures about the bottom line on any Realtors' tax return, other than speculation?

In the end, it's not worth discussing. The people writing here who seem to be the most critical about the real estate service they've received obviously used real estate licensees multiple times for their own ends, and they were free not to do that, weren't they? So what's the beef?

If you have any suggestions for making the process of buying and selling homes any easier for all parties involved, this is a good forum to post them. Would be more worthwhile than criticizing the status quo.
