Here below is another discount / rebate broker. How long can they survive is the client does not have "skin in the game" by paying a start up fee. Your thought please. ------------------------------- Dallas Real Estate Commission Rebate Programs Offered

Lester, the site says that it has helped over 2000 people since 2004. However, it doesn't say whether they've actually made a profit. I don't know the market in the DFW area, but it seems that 2% is a lot to rebate.

I find it interesting that they give choices but say that they will charge the greater of the three options which tells me that it's not really the consumer's choice. Wouldn't it be better to instead to develop choices such that it doesn't matter what the consumer chooses?

My big take-away is that as we continue to see services like this proliferate, how can the traditionals continue to bury their heads in the sand saying that the consumer is happy with the status-quo? How the change settles out is still a question but change is coming!

It appears if you read through the information that he offers a number of choices.  It is quite complicated to figure out but it is 1% of a minimum amount or $150 per hour OR etc. 

There are a number of flat fee brokers in my area who have been doing listings for a long time.  Not sure that they handle any buyers.  They have listings by the 100's. They seem to be profitable as they work on volume & not on quality of listings.
