To me they've achieved a bit of an unjustified monopoply by controlling the market the way they do. Most realtors I've dealt with just want the house to sell fast, they don't do much marketing, and certainly are very little help in negotiating. Them getting you an extra $1000 means very little in their pocket so the incentive is wrong. That said, I have met 2 realtors who were excellent. One did an excellent job of negotiating for me, and the other did an excellent job of marketing the property, which was a tough sell. Realtors seem to be a dime a dozen.
