Nontraditional real estate brokers and cutting-edge websites are providing consumers with alternatives to the 6% Realtor®. This blog - nominated as a 2007 Finalist for Inman News' "Most Innovative Blog" - covers obstacles encountered by these new competitors.
As an independent realtor in Ottawa I offer full service and low commissions to property sellers. As a result, I receive complaints and harassing phone and email messages from other board members - in an attempt to discourage me from competing against them. The consumers love my services - but my piers despise and shun me.
Even though I follow all the rules and laws of my trade - I am the one they think is in the wrong.
Competition in the real estate industry is severely frowned upon - high commissions and business as usual is encouraged.
