My thoughts on discount real estate brokerage
The way people buy houses, however, was slowly changing even prior to the economic downturn. Ten years ago, there were no fee for service real estate options or online homes databases. Your realtor was the key to helping you know what was for sale, where and how much. If you used a real estate agent, your only choice was to pay them a set percentage of the price for a home you bought or sold. The internet has empowered both buyers and sellers.
