        Everything really.

        From listening to people talking shit. And the ridiculous fee's that come with it. To the selling itself. Agreeing on where to live next and not make the same mistakes as before. To the actual move itself. Packing. Setting up everything again exactly how we want it.

        I could be doing without it all right now to be honest. Got far too much other shit going on at this time.

        But it does make sense for us to move now so, time to get on with it I suppose...

            yeah im not looking forward to it. i think one of the most pain in the ass parts is keeping your house showroom ready for showings all the time, especially with kids.

              Sold my place in exactly 5 days. The only problem was I hadn't purchased another house.

                I don't understand the issues with packing and moving. I think that's because I am not a pack rat, tend to throw away anything I do not need, and also because I worked on moving crew. We would show up on a Monday, pack a house, move it into a truck on Tuesday, unload it Wednesday, and unpack it Thursday.

                My wife and I have only moved a handful of times and each time we were quickly unpacked.

                  Ugh, not what I want to hear. Wife and I are talking about moving in the next year or so. I don't have a lot of patience as is.

                      Knowing those real estate agents/companies make a total of 6% off every sale makes me cringe. WAY overpaid. I sell tons of advertising to them every month and know hundreds of them. Believe me they are overpaid.

                      Also many markets in the USA are peaking again. Not the best timing i you are looking to buy.

                        6% is really 3% a piece for each broker, because most deals have two competing brokers in the transaction. Then that 3% is again split into a commission for the agents. Assuming the standard 50-50 split on the sale of a home in the 100k price range the agent will get 1500 and the broker will get 1500. Out of that 1500 the agent will have to budget his funds, what if that his only deal that month? Or for 3 months? What about the gas time and energy he spends making his clients happy? What about taxes? The broker has to pas his bills be liable for the agent and the deal and pay people like you who thinks he makes too much for advertising and other services . Im not bitching sure there are some who get over and are lazy and overpaid for their efforts but the market sets the pay. And all commission is negotiable. So no one makes a set commission off every deal. In my part of the country alot of the homes sell for under 100k, decent homes. The owners want to be treated the same as the guy selling a 400k home however.

                            How does selling a house suck? What do you mean listening to people talk shit?

                            A realtor should be handling your showings. Why are you even there to be able to hear the shit talking? That would make people feel uncomfortable and want to leave right away without fully checking the house out
                            I like turtles.
