I agree, and while no fan of the industry, we recently sold and bought and our agent mentioned who and what he has to share his commission with (agency, photographer, videographer, advertising, etc.) including a per-listing insurance charge, and it was all quite significant. I was never under the illusion that they pocketed it all but did not appreciate how many fingers were in the pot. The real winner is the buyer's agent who basically only has to commit time and fuel dragging his clients around.If anyone wants to tilt at people earning "windfalls", go after commissioned realtors. There's not much reason for their incomes to ramp up with home prices.
