Good question, but his comments are no different than the questions/criticisms which often get bandied about when people discuss the real estate business. What they don't understand about the industry could fill a book, but that doesn't keep people from reading junk on the Internet about commissions/business practices/the MLS and complaining loudly (while still hiring Realtors whenever they need them!--bizarre.)

Underneath every criticism, it seems, is a latent, somewhat socialistic belief that real estate service should be a regulated public utility, instead of a competitive industry in which companies and individual agents follow many different types of business plans and work strictly for their customers and clients, NOT the public at large.
