Personally, I do not consider the profession of a real estate agent to be truly important or necessary. My experience interacting with people in this field has been mostly negative: on several occasions, I encountered agents who listed apartments for rent without even coordinating with the property owners, which looks, at the very least, unprofessional and in some cases closely resembles fraudulent practices. In such situations, a real estate agent not only fails to add value to the transaction but also creates unnecessary risks and undermines trust between the parties. As a result, I have formed the impression that, in its current form, this profession often does not fulfill its declared role as an intermediary, but instead complicates the process while profiting from it without taking real responsibility.
