Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 3787424, member: 153"] Uh, it's 3% seller/3% buyer, so 6%. There are indeed a lot of services provided by realtors, and it doesn't seem like a marginal amount of work to me, BUT I wouldn't know how lucrative it is unless our understood what kind of volume they handle, what their down seasons are, etc. It is a weird business though since some people do it as side gigs, others do it for friends and family, and if you're cushy with a big firm and doing favors for a pal, you'll hire their niece. That's the only complaint I have. It's just too damn incestuous. [/QUOTE]
