Cut-rate Real Estate - Once Again!

On the New York Times front page this morning is a long piece on discount real estate brokers. What the cut-rate brokers are doing is reducing services and charging less in order to get more business. One of the means of doing that is to rebate a substantial amount of money to home sellers who use their (minimum) services.

Some who have used the services of cut-rate brokers have saved money. But we don't know how many are in litigation!

My opinion is that my customers enjoy full service, personal representation. And I strongly advise against reducing services to buyers and sellers. This is a very dangerous business; and sellers (and buyers) who provide their own expertise (?) to a very complicated procedure open themselves up to serious consequences.
