You can't speak of what you don't know. There are some very hardworking agents out there.

I find those comments kind of offensive.. since Real Estate is literally our bread and butter and the roof over our heads.

Please don't say things about people's honest livelihoods.

Should she receive the same commission % that she would have received 10-20 years ago when she would have done all the leg work?

Your particular agent may not, but many agents do. The statements made were referring to all agents in general. My husband is one, as I stated earlier.
