Now people do their own searches and setting up appointments for showings. It's not like back when only agents had access to listings.

I worked as a buyer with one agent who did earn her fee, but as a seller I had to choose to go through redfin due to them offering a 1.5 listing fee, where as most agents still wanted 2.5 or 3%. While I can see some justification for the buyers agent, the listing agents should be lower.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I"d be ok with 1% listing fee and 1.5% for buyers agents. Also would be preferable as seller not to have to pay all fees. My guess is that commission fees will go down, and then other "fees" will mysteriously appear.
