To my knowledge, not one person I know has had a positive experience with a realtor. No offense Mr Lepore, but that line of work seems to attract a lot of people that I would just as soon have no interaction with at all.

^ Most folks still work with realtors. Without offering the buying agent a % of the deal all will actively avoid your home - of course. Sucks that the industry is so rigged but that's the game. So that said in active markets I have always been able to negotiate the total compensation to 4% (split equally to buyer/seller agent 2%). Not a bad deal for my agent (used the same in all 3 transactions) as my home always sold within 10 days. Of course your local market will dictate how that actually goes down.
My agent ALWAYS responded the same day to calls and text messages without exception. I normally avoid off hours and weekends/holidays out of respect but when a deal is brewing then 24/7 is expected and was provided.
