    Why are we letting Realtors be the gate keepers of home pricing. This has to change. They are not unbiased experts, they make money from larger sales because it’s based on percentage points of the sale. We all know this correct? Sure there is a market value but I have seen a broker in action and they base new home sales always more expensive than previous sales.
