certainly you mean overpaying them

You mean they're stealing money from you? Are they forcing you to use
their services?
Pretty close. Not saying they are stealing money, but in many cases
they are not providing the service you are paying for. Worse yet for
home inspectors than realtors.

You chose to hire them and agreed to the terms. They don't get paid
if you aren't successful in selling your home. How is that being
"overpaid"?

My selling agents have been worth every dime I paid them. We had a
loser buyer's agent but she didn't get paid a dime either. Her
replacement got paid the buying side of the commission for a few hours
work (she was willing _to_ work).



You need to vet your agent, whether buying or selling. In a hot market
any agent can sell your house and get you a good price. In a slow
market just about any agent can get you a suitable house.. Whether
they have fully represented you, and provided you all the information
they should have when buying, or given all the information to the
buyer they should have, is another question.
Getting you into or out of a house isn't the whole job.

Sure, in a slow market the agent's biggest job is to find buyers but
the buyer isn't paying the agent. The fact is that the seller is
paying both ends of the deal. Since you, the buyer, aren't paying the
salary of the agent, he can't be over-priced. You don't seem to
understand that both agents are working for the seller, no matter what
they may say.
