    By Marlow HarrisMay 28, 2011 - 2:37pm

    I love real estate because we're limited only by how hard we want to work. If I wanted to get paid by the hour or by a salary, I'd get a real J-O-B, but a much less stressful job than real estate sales. I don't care how others want to bill for their time, but I don't want to be told how to bill for mine or what I can charge or what I SHOULD be charging. If another agent wants to discount and lowball their services, if they don't think they can charge what I do or need to charge less than I do to get the business, that's fine. But there's always someone who will do the job for less and at a certain discount point, you're working for free. Yes, the dream clients subsidize the nightmares, but it's like that in every business. Nordstrom builds in the labor costs, shipping, marketing and losses due to shoplifting and returns to justify that $100 blouse. I have one boy in college and that requires a separate essay in itself.... heaven help us all! -- Marlow Harris http://www.360Digest.com

    A very well-reasoned and informative article about an ongoing situation in the US real estate market. To unbundle real estate services could harm a seller, as they don't know what they don't know, and they could think they just want the minimum services, but then get into a situation where they need more service or sign a purchase and sale agreement that could ultimately hurt them.

    Not that it matters, but I've been getting the Lones Group newsletter for about 4 years and have attended seminars by Denise Lones. She's a real estate trainer and educator here in Washington State. And when Daniel first started his blog, it didn't have his name on it, so I thought it was Denise's so I used the "contact form" to send a note of congratulations that she had joined us in our online blog community. Except it wasn't Denise, it was Daniel. So I can see how others would be confused. Just sayin'.
