I fully admit CREA often sounds like a propaganda machine, but what's best for the home owner should always be what's best for the Realtor. That's our job, and some of us take that seriously, despite what the "you're all the same" crowd will tell you.
If it's not best for my home owner, than I'm doing it wrong.
Also, If you've ever sold a home you'd likely know it's actually the Realtor looking to lower pricing and get the home sold, and the owner looking to keep the pricing too high and beyond the reality of their market.
High prices are not a big motivation to Realtors, that's a myth.
Repeat customers, client loyalty and referrals, and overall volume are far more important.
And Would decreased home values be best for home owners?
