I agree.  And it&#x27;s particularly insane given the degree to which the tasks traditionally performed by the realtor are now handled by more-informed buyers and sellers.  Information used to be locked in physical listing books.  It then moved online to disparate MLS&#x27;s.  Now you can view most listing data using a combination of Zillow, Realtor.com and regional localized brokerage websites.  Good realtors still add some value, but framing it as a percentage of the transaction is entirely the wrong metric given how the industry has evolved in the past decade.
