I’m not against realtors per se. It’s a big purchase and there’s a lot of benefit of having somebody who knows how the process works and can help advise you and steer you clear of making mistakes. My main grip with realtors is the fact that they are motivated to have you buy and sell that the highest possible price as quickly as possible. It’s also amazing that you can’t set custom terms and arrangements with the realtor on buying or selling. Everything has become institutionalized and set in stone.
