If it's so "risky" and "nightmare" how come millions of people do it every year all over Europe, in dozens of different legal systems, with only one agent without much issue? At least I've not heard of how extremely difficult it is to buy a house there? Or how the majority get scammed or...

How does this "buyers agent" represent your interest? You sign a contract you have to use them, then they get a commission that's larger the more expensive house you buy. And the faster you buy the better for them! And most of the things you list have nothing to do with paying money to buy a...

Wow, that National Review guy is absolutely nuts! Not dating people with views you don't agree with is infringing speech?? Emotional safety? .... for real?

This sounds more like a "first time home buyer life coach consultant" than a realtor job! Picking neighborhood and haggling price is not something I'd expect from a realtor. And could be done for a fixed fee, not based on a percentage of purchase price.

Again, you need to remember that the rest of the world exist. So you're saying that in most of Europe where they only have one agent involved, that home buyers are constantly taken advantage of, fail the process, and make poor decisions? There are thousands/millions, of failing home purchasers...

Agree. And regarding as one mentioned here that realtors "take photos, and list homes"? The photos and staging of house I see in the US, at least around here ($400k+ homes), is absolutely atrocious. How they have the gall to charge tens of thousands for that is beyond me. Most look like they...

So now people can instead be taken advantage of by unscrupulous seller's agents, AND unscrupulous buyer's agents??

As usual Americans pretend the rest of the world doesn't exist, when they say 6% is "required". In most of the western world such a fee would be outrageous. Half of that is more likely I believe...

Sure is! This is awful and disgusting police behavior. But to some degree I must say the parents should have know to not bring illegal drugs into such as a backwards, shithole state! Like the tourists who buy drugs in Singapore and get execute.. wtf? Why would you?! Everyone know these states...

So by this logic we need busts of Mussolini in the US Capitol? A plinth with life-size Hitler at the National Mall? Stalin in front of the white house? Kaizer Wilhelm erected by Buckingham palace (ok, at least he's family)? Guderian on the Champs-Élysées? And clearly you'd support a golden Trump...

This is so absolutely (obviously) insane. Why the hell would you have statues of traitors to the USA, in the main government building, of the USA? Half a brain tells you it ludicrous. Ok, you could make some loose argument (a bad one IMO) for keeping statues in bumfuck nowhere virgiania where...

Lol, yes seriously? I had to read that blurb again. First I thought it said the bought stock before they went public, which sounds shady! But no: he bought stock. The day it went public. So.. just like every other member of the public could?? What is the problem here?? And this is with me being...

Yes good lord, that article was awful. Just a massive amount of "butwhatabout??!" Is this even an argument? People pentitioning their own government, but not one 5,000 miles away? How strange! The people running for president of the united states don't have a domestic environmental plan for...

This seems to imply that if "all sides" are thought equally, then the ideological adherance among the student body as a whole will be randomized. I.e if there are two sides then 50% of students will belong to each side. Discounting that some ideologies are a) stupid (*cough trickle down...
