May I suggest that: a) «the MLS game» (list low, hold offers 5 - 15 days & scramble to get your own offer in the meantime); b) the prevalence
of simultaneous presentation
of 5 - 50 competing bids (full info on all bids only known by Seller Agent); c) the new - prominence
of Teams / mega-Teams / office - within - an - office sub-Brokerages; d) the often «coached - from - afar» suggestions about how Registrants can maximize GCI, minimize expenses and offset competition - induced, listing - fee discounts; e) Average Prices resulting in everyday Co-op Brokerage fees
of $ 15K, 20K and more and f) the high percentage
of Registrants who have not
experienced any market conditions other than «Prices perpetually Up, Seller always Wins,
Buyer puts - up or Shuts - up»; g) Electronic signification — you can no longer look in the whites
of your competitor's
eyes, because half
of them aren't even physically present.
