Cons: Other than THAT, just about everything. She is doing squat. Gone are the days when agents helped you FIND a home (we're doing that ALL on our home), so why are they going to get 20 grand?


So..... Has anyone bought a home recently where their agent actively helped, using their knowledge of the area, find a home?

Who is going to get 20 grand for what ?
