Agreed. Take the worst used car salesman and distill the essence of his bullshit down until it is pure unadulterated crap and then load 10 pounds of it into a five pound bag and you have the blivet that is a realtor.

million dollar+ homes and the right realtor gets great attention, i.e chartered helicopter to take aerial photos of the property/estate nice hand outs printed on heavy paper with lots of photos...
or..
some danky house worth 100k which gets the cheapest stuff imaginable and the new people in the market.
Its marketing and its all about perception and presentation. Make it look like gold and people will buy the worse smelling shit because it looks beautiful... same in every industry really.
I'd agree that *most* realtors are scum. When I was selling a house a few years back, the realtor I started with was terrible. He did nothing to promote the house, had shitty photos of the place, was way off on the pricing off the area... fired him 4 months later.
Next realtor came in, made a HD video walk through, took about 100 photos and put 25 or so online, had a color flyer, house sold in a few weeks.
The test is a breeze and continuing education is a joke. I probably used 10% of what I learned in classes. Everything I really needed to know was learned by getting out there and selling houses and having a mentor.
You don't get into the meat and bones of things until you go for your brokers license.
As with every industry there are good and bad people. Also, not every real estate agent is a REALTOR. REALTOR just means they joined the association, paid their dues and agreed to adhere to an additional code.
ha, i remember as a teenager eveybody's stay at home mom was becoming a real estate agent, you don't need a high school diploma, just take the course and you're a real estate agent.
what does an agent make on a house sale, 4%? and then splits with the company they work for?
