All in all, it is a joke. The pro-arguments I have read here are beyond laughable. It only takes a bit of common sense to realize that if you want to purchase something and NOT pay lots of extra money just because, you simply get rid of the middle man. You go to the seller and negociate between the two of you. If someone is THAT limited as to not know WHAT they want in a house or where streets and locations are or how to look over a buyer/seller contract (that's what lawyers' fees are for!)...then sure, get an agent to take you by the hand. But how about not allowing such scamming practices in the system as to force me, the seller, to pay for your ignorance or lack of time to look for what yoy need?
If you don't have the time to look - PAY FOR YOUR OWN AGENT!
