I’ve bought 4 and sold 3 houses over the years, and TBH the whole brokerage model seems like a two sided market scam but I’m not sure who is winning or being scammed. I’ve used brokers and not, so I’ve seen both sides.

I have family that are brokers are frankly they aren’t very smart but they know how to hustle, so they do decently well. They offer a service and do that but the costs for what they do are really weird in the margins.

It seems like the most perfect example of a bullshit job but somehow it benefits both sides enough that it persists because home ownership is such a (reasonably but problematically) aggressively promoted thing.

Very confusing tbh.
