Good point, Bobby. You just gave me the incentive and extra push I need to tackle the continuing education course that's coming due in order to renew my broker license. I WANT THE LEGAL RIGHT TO BE OVERPAID. <guffaw>

No I didn't think about getting RE license because I was already overpaid working as a software developer during bubble times. -g- Right now there is good time to be in RE business. But eventually RE market will cool down (in terms of annual sales) and the commissions will go down (per cent wise) as well because of increased competition. Listing agent commissions have already come down from 3% to 1.5-2.5%. Buyer's agent commissions so far firm at 2.5% (down from 3%), but what happens that many buyer's agents split the commission with the buyer. Are commissions firm in Seattle?
