Unlike you, I don't think anyone should leave the Realtors alone. Let Uncle Sam rant and rail against the industry all he wants. It's the taxpayers' money, after all, so who cares? (Uncle OUGHT to try to understand the real estate biz a little better than he seems to when he launches these attacks, but that's another story.) This isn't the first time some folks in the federal government have tried to change the world on behalf of real estate consumers. The consumers have a mind of their own and will decide who stays in business and who doesn't, as always. Many people have probably noticed that all the talk of making real estate buying/selling easy and cheap is now occurring at a time when real estate has been selling like hotcakes. Wait until real estate isn't selling like hotcakes and the subject will probably be dropped.
