There are also several things, that Jeff Jarvis fails to take into account when he refers to real estate agents, is the fact that most real estate companies, actually take a large cut of the agent’s commission, so they don’t make nearly as much as he claims, and honestly the 6% he refers to is nothing, if you take into account, that the company that holds the agent’s license takes a large cut of that.

He also does not take into account, the various fees that an agent also has to pay, to the association, to insurance companies for Errors and Omissions insurance, plus a lot of companies even charge them for desk space and their use of office resources.  So in the end, the agent does not get nearly as much as Jeff Jarvis claims for doing “little work”.

I’d like proof Mr. Jarvis, that my mother working from dawn to dusk everyday, is doing “little work”.
