I have seen the future (and it's not looking good for realtors): HungryAgents.com


Someone come up with some other good names for this idea of having real estate agents compete for your business with lower, and lower, and lower commissions.

LOVE IT!

One word: disintermediation.

The future is fine for Realtors...if you are willing to work hard. But the future for home sellers looking to save on commissions is looking good.

With HungryAgents.com you can take advantage of the abundance of local Realtors and real estate agents in all 50 states and have them compete for your business. The same Realtors that will charge you 6 and 7% at the name brand real estate office in your neighborhood will come to our site and lower their cut of commission to get your business.

And of course it's free if you are selling your home with no obligation. Coming in the next few weeks we will be adding a buyer's section that puts money back in your pocket at close.

Thanks Keith, for putting us on your site and letting me ramble. Anybody feel free to email me with any questions.

when 70% of the population is negatively impacted, some in tremendous ways, this becomes the #1 issue in the country. Nothing else matters more than the pocketbook.

adam - keep up the good work and check in from time to time to let us know how it's going

What typical commission rates are you seeing for people using your site vs. the standard 6% or 7%? And is it getting better (I mean worse for realtors) since the bubble burst?

Richard. . .

None other than Stephen Roach at Morgan Stanley (somewhere at the right hand of God) is calling this the "post housing bubble" decline. . .and if you didn't look at the cover of Business Week (all over the internet today) you are the one who is out of touch. This IS the BIG story of the year - not Iran!. . .Iran is Iran since the disco 70's!!

Go to bed now - mommy will make everything ok.

Hey rich I like you keep up on all events...The housing crash my friend is a major blipp on the backs of americans, and they dont even see it.

Agreed there is a lot of shit going on in this world today, but to call this minor..is wrong on your part (no offence)..in fact I think the United States right now has absolutly no control over the situation and a major depression is upon us.."minor" I should say not.

Scary bigtime.

realtors are no better or worse than any other profession. Ah, man, is that a load of dung!

these parasites have had it too good for too long at the expense of all of us. this profession is history. the internet and anti-trust backlash are going to bury these blood-sucking daylight vampires.

i repeat, you realtors are history. there are tens of thousands of people in the country now dedicated to your eradication. just crawl away and die, please.

Roccman said...

Not so my friend - it is the reading of this material that allows me the ability to truly understand the gift of life.

See Bork - I know in 10 years we are going to be in a world of hurt - know why Bork - cuz this planet was never intended to have 10 Billion people on it.

So Bork - the reading material is just fine...it is ignorance that sends shivers down my spine.

Anyway - my son and I will be at the gun range tomorrow; taking my daughter to the sables to ride our horses...got a date with a gorgeous blond (who piants) ...and having dinner with my 92 yo grandmother (not during the date of course)

Life is good Bork.

When you find out why the housing bubble happened, and why the fed left the interest rates so low for so long, and the real reason why we're in the mideast, you'll find out why the housing bubble is the least of all our worries.

Perhaps this will be the answer to the housing Bubble? Just like the black plague, the survivors will all be rich and landed practically overnight. Chicken anyone?

I like how everyone can get pumped to say I told you so, even when they are taking it in equal measure up the backside. If we realtors are screwed, so is everyone else. The hungryrealtors.com crew is out selling cars or amway somewhere. Anyone who warns of the housing bubble, is often unhappy with other aspects in their life.

If you think that a domain on some website makes a difference, then you don't sell real estate. People don't buy homes from websites, they buy from people.

You can middle out the travel agent online, but there are too many moving parts for websites to take our jobs and liability.

I don't believe any of us realtors, are sitting around going "oh shit the hungryagent site has turned the world against us". We show up for our presentation in person, and quickly make you look like a marketing scam.

Soon people will know, that the fear vendors like you. Are a bunch of lazy ass people who could not hang in the world of real estate. You can't dominate a market that you never owned.

Maybe you should go buy scaryrealestatemarket.com to add onto your lame ass marketing ploy. How about Icantsellhomessoihaveawebsiteinstead.com
