[Q=peterp151]I don't believe anymore that real estate agents work very hard to sell houses. Certainly there are agents who work very hard to sell houses. But the process I've experienced suggests very few agents work had when selling. They work hard to get people to list and they work hard to keep their clients believing they are working hard selling. But in my experience, the real work is getting buyers to choose a house and buy it. [Q] [b]Peter, you and I definitely agree on the above. The MLS listing is what sells a house, not an agent, but they get credit for the listing and get commission no matter what agent sells the house. Our previous home was on a waterway about 20 miles from the nearest town and only people interested in buying on water would have been interested in our listing and they could find that in the MLS brochure themselves ..... it was a slam/dunk for the agent that sold it and the agent that listed it.[/b]
