    I am a Realtor who owns a Beekeeping and Christmas Light business on the side. Doesn't matter if it's a $180k real estate commission or a $10 jar of honey...people always say others are overpaid.

    I'm not sure how it works in all states, but in California using a Realtor (backed by the state Association of Realtors) means buyers/sellers have access to amazing real estate lawyers and advisors. When people ask if a Realtor is overpaid, I ask 'how much would you pay for legal protection and advice on a business deal valued at $428k?'... At the end of the day buying a home is a business deal, legal advisors and protections are worth it's weight in gold!

    The answer is yes!! I’ve used an agent twice and with each sale, the agent only posted the listing on the MLS and (maybe) made up flyers. When I did a FSBO, I did the exact same thing and put my home all over my local social media for less 1/4 the cost of using an agent. I did pay the buyer’s agent a fee, but they did NOTHING. I will consider the fee as not TOTALLY RIDICULOUS when buyer’s agents can charge an hourly rate to show homes to prospective buyers. Less time would be wasted and all the fees wouldn’t be dumped on the seller.

    The only time I agree about an agent overpaid is when the agent takes photos of a home/condo with their potato cell camera, uploads on MLS and just sits back and wait for multiple offers to roll in. And it still sells for overasking because the market is HOT. looking at you Toronto, ON agents.

    Great video/explanation, of a myth I felt but didn't understand.
    I sell commercial construction, the sales funnel on a big boy can take 2 years, but then the commissions are huge when they finally land.
    A one minute phone call which lands £5-figures always seems easy, until everyone else is able to compete for it too, and you have to dial 1000s of dials to land one which goes all the way through.
    There's no easy gig in the real world (unless yo' literally doing crime, or something immoral/loopholey)

    Love this video Ryan!! I really like the perspective you put on things!! I 100% agree with you and I feel like the value you can show to your clients means they are willing to pay what ever you charge! the key for any agent is the ability to show why you are worth what you charge! Thanks Ryan for always putting out great content!

    All professionals can be overpaid. I’ve seen a plumber charge me $1500 for a twenty minute install with some basic hand tools and a $300 part.
    Customers want to think the value is there. If a real estate agent has a really easy sale then yes 6% seems high. At the same time they have far more instances where they do plenty of work and get paid nothing.

    Why should an agent get 6% of my hard-earned escrow? Better yet, Why should an agent get 24K on a 400K house versus 60K on a 1 million dollar house? What exact paperwork is different? Does it take an extra week to do the paperwork? There is no difference in the amount of time and paperwork that has to be done. So why shouldn't there be a flat fee to sell a house? It is complete BS that more money is paid out just because the selling price is higher. It's a massive scam that needs to end.

  • @Sara-wb2bs
    @Sara-wb2bs Год назад +7

    The answer is 100% YES! They are overpaid. My landlady put our house up for sale and I'm the one that sold it while the realtor just sat on her ass. I didn't even get a f'n commission for God sakes. When they told us they got an offer... I know exactly who it came from and they were surprised that I knew the person and time they came through the house.

      If it was so easy why did you hire an agent? Did you & can you do all the paperwork? (correctly), Did you set it up with the Title Company? Did you Negotiate on your own behalf? I can go on and on and on. Either your agent is really bad like you said, or they are really good and they did all the heavy lifting without you having to think or lift a finger. Perspective is everything. Stop just labeling industries as "easy" & "overpaid" bc if it was so easy and if so many people in that profession are "oVeRpAiD" then why doesn't everyone do it? have you ever asked your self that question? Instead of hating?

  • @TakanoriGomi

    Answer is Yes. In the age of the internet, you don’t need an agent to help you buy/sell. It’s kind of crazy that it still exists as a profession. Imagine needing an agent to buy a car or sofa. Totally unnecessary

    • @hhunter4900
      @hhunter4900 Год назад

      You still need them because you are not buying a sofa or car. There could be so many legal problems that could arise after the sale because someone didn't disclose something or failed to do something. The good thing is that we have options so you to sell direct or use a professional.

    They are only useful in 3 scenarios. 1) You are a big time developer and are looking for a partner to find you the best properties 2) You are buying or selling very high end properties that have a tiny buyer pool or 3) Agents that find quality off market property deals. For the regular Joe’s, agents will just spam you email with the same stuff you see on Zillow and come to closing ready for the picture and commission check. Best approach as a buyer is to work with the sellers agent. These agents will do anything for a deal (including screwing over their own client) to close and get that sweet sweet double commission check

    • @dukeofthedesert
      @dukeofthedesert Год назад +1

      Sounds like you’re still working with an agent whether you choose to have representation or not. Trust me, the listing agents loyalty doesn’t lay with you. They’re going to do everything to benefit the seller in that scenario.

  • @dantenewyork7380
    @dantenewyork7380 Год назад

    with no guarantee of income, it's perfectly understandable for commission based jobs to have risk related perks. but the same amount of work if not more is required on a 400k coop as there is on a 4mm coop. but the money is 10x. and THAT is where one could argue the commission(s) are egregiously 'overpaid'. no need for a huge team or lux office in Soho to clear that transaction. the ubiquity of information, mls / streeteasy, etc... the work isn't all that strenuous. stressful sure, but ultimately simple and then paperwork with application and attorneys. obviously there's lots of competition vying for that money in a building or nabe where many units trade within the typical 6 mo listing period. last, the NAR lets way too many people in. should be way more difficult to get a license, and maybe the profession would be perceived as more prestigious and less snake oil / salesy.

    It's only worth it when you have a knowledgeable agent. A good listing agent will trap buyers into being stuck in the contract to get the house sold and will know which offer is best. A good buyers agent will be able to get a buyer's offer accepted and know how to get them out of a contract if they decide to back out while protecting their earnest money. The fact that anyone can be an agent and start practicing without any guidance is scary.

    No job is easy, real estate and mortgage agents required to know a lot of regulations, not to mention the people skills you need either have or develop, is a sales job which the U.S. is very good at producing lol however if we look at it from a numbers point of view, both jobs are expensive for the buyer and seller, brokerages are not exactly needed anymore, let’s be honest the over head cost is just not worth it. AI among other techs coming up can take over the job of both agents, and most likely be more efficient, better with regulations, there will be no bias like some agents to have and thats normal their human, but in terms of efficiency and cost, AI and bots will be much better.

      Ultimately handling somebody else's stress is not getting over paid. Real estate professionals negotiate and absorb lot of the drama behind the scenes, to make sure that there will be no surprises after the closing and that everyone covers all their legal responsibilities. People pay a lot because their house is important and one of the biggest purchase they due in in their lifetime.That's is why they don't mind paying a professional to assist them in the transaction. Of course there's always choices and you could choose not to hire anyone.

    100% of his perspective is from the Realtor side- Its all about the "Realtors getting paid"
    As a consumer, 5-6% is absolutely ridiculous... What an egotistic, self-serving video. You have a glut of realtors showing up in jeans and t-shirts looking unprofessional, knowing nothing about the home, not there to serve in any way except- "How can I get paid" Serhant just proved it. He never mentioned how the 5-6% is worth it to the seller in any way...
