Sounds like another HouseValues.com or any other "lead generator." It's great that thousands of techies are trying to cash in on an already permeated market, but this trend will eventually end. Realtors aren't going to line up to compete for lower commissions unless they are desperate or lazy (less service for less commission) which leads you to question whether you should use their service in the first place. Anyone who has even entertained HouseValues knows that they endlessly spam Realtors (weekly mail stating "you have a lead waiting"... the so-called lead likely bought a home by the time you got that piece of junk mail). Good for agentBoost for perpetrating the competition for do-less-get-paid-less leeches- they'll eventually all eat each other alive and leave the rest of the industry standing stronger- awesome! In the meantime, agentBoost will cash in while they can! Yeah I don’t know that I’m on board for this one.
