They just upload the property to a website and they get in contact directly through that site; they just pay the notary and they save more than 5 % in expenses.

I hate it when they simply try to push all their work onto the other agent. I think discount and ala cart agents are fine as long as they do their side of the transaction.

I too have seen a few companies that solely do ala cart fall flat on their faces, but I think this was more in part due to their shady activity than the actual ala cart part.

At the end of the day when your in charge of a business transaction worth hundreds of thousands of dollars its not like anything else “most” people have ever encountered prior, and I think most do it yourselfers or real estate agents who do “al le carte” don’t realize that this is a not a business transaction that is going to be able to be broken up into little pieces….Just my thoughts though Ya I don’t think its effective because clients have the NEED of more then just what they “think” and then the issue is they will try to get all the info they can for the least amount of money, the RE agent then ends up putting way more work in then what they were paid for…..We have a couple brokerages that have tried this idea but they get no where with it because there is a need in 99% of the cases for a real estate agent to complete a transaction from beginning to end, too many people just believe that they can “do it themselves” and save all this money but get stuck or don’t realize their not helping themselves at all.
