I always wondered who represents home owners who have cheap houses... Like a $50k house. Whether you are selling a 50k house or 500k, there's a similar amount of work. But those houses do get sold.

Also as a rental property owner I hate how realtors charge by the monthly fee. Meaning, if I rent out my house for $2k a month, I need to pay them that amount for a new tenant. A $2k a month property with tenants that have jobs is easier to maintain than $500 property with tenants that barely hold a job.

They also take a 10% cut per month of the rent... $200 for $2000 rent... $50 for $500...just to do the same thing. Real estate fees make no sense!
