Maybe it’s me but a realtor has some value. In my house hunting efforts, I’d rather deal with a incompetent realtor than an absolute moron of a homeowner. Realtors, you can explain things and they’ll work with the owner. Where a owner (especially shitty ones) get all pissy and antagonistic if you point out the black mold.

Getting a direct connection from seller to buyer with only escrow between then is a good idea. However this is a drop in the bucket as far as housing costs go. This does nothing to address the root cause of skyrocketing housing costs.

Yes a realtor can be useful, but 99% of the time they do not deserve 3-6% of the purchase price of the house for the 10-20 hours of work they do for the typical house purchase.
