I ask them if they ever pick up one of those magazines when they are trying to buy a property, or if they just go straight to the internet? Zillow is growing, so is the Flat Fee Real Estate market!!

Papers charge agents a premium for an ad that would cost the consumer much less. We're supposed to view it as a business expense - so that makes it what? - less money going out of our pocket?
