All the realtors I've ever worked with work really hard for the money they make, and they aren't raking it in compared to the effort.

This.
I've had one realtor working with me for about 18 months and we still haven't found what I'm looking for. She does such great work that I refer others to her that have bought and some on the first house they look at. For all the sales they make, there are many more times sales are not made. How the realtor does in those non sales and how they treat their clients is what really gives them a good reputation in my opinion.
In my line of work, so often I hear, it only takes you 15 minutes to do it, why do you charge me $100? It didn't take me 15 minutes, it took four years in university, a Master's degree, 3 years of articling and 3 years of private practice work in order for me to do it in 15 minutes. If it was that easy, you could have done it yourself.
