I just want to add that I'm glad that CREB finally upped the ante for wannabe realtors. Like everyone and their dog has a real estate license and half only ever dust it off once a year to sell their brother's house. Then they nickle and dime and try to negotiate you down an extra $500 dollars. There's one particular race of people that do that (and it's not Jews) on every deal and it's frustrating.
When I was selling houses, as soon as I encountered one of these bargain bozo realtors that was trying to get you an extra $500 for your house, I let the deal fall through on purpose. There's no need to nickle and dime and try to get them to throw in the garden hose and sprinkler. You're either doing business or you're not. Some realtors will work for a discounted rate, but I'd probably ask them why.
