I dont discount the work necessary to get to where they were. Realtors that start from scratch get zero business unless u know the world. It takes hard work to build a pipeline.
But srsly lol take any mini-mansion richmond home. List a decent price and pair it with any agent u want, offers will start coming in whether its listed by the agents where u see 100x of their faces plastered all bus benches, or an agent who just started the gig.
In vancouver's real estate market, it just feels to me like choosing an agent to sell your house is like choosing who to randomly give a slice of your sales proceeds to.
One thing i find really weird is why realtors get % commissions for the sale versus flat fee. Just because the property is worth more? Does it justify that selling a home for 800,000 versus selling another for 1600000 is almost double the commission? Sure maybe mansions have a smaller market, but perhaps a higher flat fee versus just plain %.
For mortgage brokers, i can justify the % commission they get. Their job is to bring mortgage volume to their institutions. Of course the higher amount u bring in would justify a % in commission... Whereas realtors theyre not really providing any actual "resource", the deal is between a buyer and seller and theyre just there to faciliate that transaction and theyre getting paid % commission lol
