Checked out trulia.com yet? And yes HP'ers, the end of the MLS, the NAR and the realtor profession is fast approaching...

So much you can do on this site - it's like a MLS on steroids. Here's a look at the 1000+ foreclosures in Scottsdale just for fun!

If you want, pick one out, maybe your realtor or mortgage broker's pre-foreclosure home, and now you can even take a walk down the street with google earth. It'd be cool if you could also knock on the virtual door, go inside and submit a low-ball offer, that's phase 2 I guess...

I love the internets and the google. Bunch of tubes and wires, but it's magic and it's gonna get rid of the 6%'ers once and for all. You'll still have "housing helpers" but at $10 an hour or so.

Thanks to Diana at CNBC for pushing me there - I meant to cruise the site earlier never got around to it, being a zillow fan and all.

Wouldn't it be great if google simply bought trulia and zillow and became the dominant and free realtor-killer we've needed? Hopefully they'll figure it out soon. Goodbye MLS. Goodbye NAR. Hello google.

HousingPANIC Quote of the Day

"Realtors have to remember they work for us not the other way around. They will get paid what WE decide to pay them and right now good luck getting your 6%. You will get it from the uninformed but those days are numbered. People are sick and tired of getting ripped off."

Update on the ramen-eater who won't cut her commission, regardless of what the market will pay

I wish more realtor sites would allow comments from consumers instead of just other realtors. They'd be SO much more entertaining.

Active Rain, god bless 'em, allowed HP'ers and others to comment on the post where the realtor stomped her feet and said no way Jose was she cutting her rate - because she had all these other crooks taking her money (waaaaa!!).

$20 an hour I say. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Take it or leave it.

Here's some of the best comments. Feel free to keep adding, but keep it clean OK...

Dear Kim,

You provide no value whatsoever. Is there a "vehicletor" when I want to sell my car? No. Sorry cutie, find a new job.

Realtors are scum. What service do you provide? Your days are numbered.

you will be getting a lesson in economics, as the free market will be cutting your commission for you, regardless of what you think. have fun revisiting this post and these thoughts in a year!

You need not cut your commission.

It will be cut for you, by the market, or you will simply become part of the tsunamai of out-of-work used house salespeople.

I cannot understand why Realtors charge 6% in the US.

I lived in the UK and I sold my house and the Realtors charged 1%

They also prepared beautiful marketing materials - full color brochures - not like the garbage here.
