Good point, there, Steven!
I Think Nick’s Point Is Hi Are The Only Ones Not Fleacing The Real Estate Industry. Appraisers, Insurers,title Companies,realtors And Lawyers Are All Laughing At What We Make . And Most Of The Liability Of The Home Being Sold Is On Us !! We Here Over And Over , I Don’t Want You Ruining My Deal, From Realtors. If We Are So Important To The Deal ,be Paid Like You Are Important, And Do It Now!
Give the man a cigar!.
Here is my last point on this issue that I want to say. After that I am going on to somthing else. I have read many of the differnet threads an opinion and respect them all. However. Lets be honest so that everyone get the real story. The lowest common denominator here is $. We all agree in priciple that we are at the bottom of the food chain in the realesate transaction (If you disagree, show me some proof). Also I think in principle we agree with the above that we take most of the liability in this deal ((If you disagree, show me some proof.)
So if the above are correct then how does anyone justify not rasing the fee to a average charged by the industry as a whole? Now I know what your going to say so please save me the whining and bitching about the competion as they should be reading these forums aswell. Point in case, I was @ an inspection with a company who advertises there rates opening. A 2000 sqr foot home was 460 + GST. The consumer happily handed over there CC for the services provided no issue. They said that they were more than happy with what they learned and how the inspection went. So if they can charge that and have happy customers then why cant we all.
