Except in most instances it's not the buyer who pays the commission it's the seller...

[–] pahalie@lemmy.world 37 points 4 days ago

well, only if we ignore the fact that this commission is embedded into the price

It doesn't change the fact they're getting paid a ton for a comparatively small amount of work.

If you are selling one house, you are usually buying another.

That's just playing a shell game. The one showing up with money is the buyer. Writing it down on a piece of paper that the money goes to the seller then the realtor doesn't effectively change anything.
