For everyone who says "anyone can do it": You're right. Anyone can get the license.

Not everyone can:

Work 87 hours on one deal
Handle 47 phone calls without losing it
Negotiate 4 times without killing the deal
Coordinate 8 inspections flawlessly
Solve title issues from 2003
Prevent wire fraud
Actually close

That's why 9 out of 10 agents fail.

Because "simple" transactions like this happen every single day.

And most people can't handle it.

This napkin tells the real story:

What buyers see: "We bought a house!"
What agents see: 87 hours of chaos, 47 phone calls, 4 negotiations, 2 appraisals, 8 inspections, 12 forms, 23 emails, and 1 miracle.

But sure, "anyone can do it."

You're not paying a percentage.

You're hiring:

Pricing expertise (worth $50k+ in net proceeds)
Negotiation skills (worth $20k-$40k in your pocket)
Marketing strategy (difference between 4 days and 4 months on market)
Transaction management (prevents $100k mistakes)
Network access (buyers before they hit Zillow)

But sure, save that 2%.

The "discount agent" math:

Agent A charges 5%:

Prices your home at $650k (based on comps)
Professional photos, staging consultation, strategic marketing
Gets 4 offers in 3 days
Negotiates to $675k
Handles inspection saving you $8k in credits
Closes in 28 days

Your net after 5% commission: $607,875

Agent B charges 3%:

Prices your home at $680k (what you wanted to hear)
iPhone photos, no staging advice
2 showings in 3 weeks
Reduces price twice to $640k
One offer at $625k
Buyer demands $12k in repairs (agent doesn't push back)
Closes in 67 days with $9,500 in extra carrying costs

Your net after 3% commission: $587,250

You "saved" 2% in commission.

You lost $20,625 in net proceeds.

Congrats. You played yourself.

What discount agents don't tell you...

They're taking a discount on:

Time spent on your listing
Quality of marketing
Negotiation effort
Availability when problems arise
Network reach
Experience level

You get what you pay for.

The irony:

You'll spend 6 months researching a $1,200 TV.

But you'll hire an agent for your $650,000 house based on who charges the lowest percentage.

Make it make sense, Karen.
