Real estate commission rebate, what they say
The way people buy houses, however, was slowly changing even prior to the economic downturn. Ten years ago, there were no fee for service real estate options or online homes databases. Your realtor was the key to helping you know what was for sale, where and how much. The only model back then was paying a realtor a commission to help you buy or sell a house. The internet has empowered both buyers and sellers.
