They can do. If they market your house well you can maybe get another $100,000 (5-10%). At around 1-2% they're generally profitable to the seller.

The problem is their fee is also that much. So it doesn't benefit you to get 6% higher price if you have to pay it to agents. It's just more tax and fees you have to pay on a higher house price.

> The buyer doesn't bear the cost at all

The buyer is the only one bringing money into the deal so they pay for both agents

DOSUser67 · 2 years ago
That's not true, the agent fees come from the seller's money.

It's only true if you consider your employer to be paying for everything you have in your house, because they gave you the money you used to pay for your stuff.

Easier to blame the big bad bankers/capitalists/CEOs than to look in the mirror and blame oneself for voting in unsustainable policies.

If you, personally, change your voting patterns, do you expect society to change?

Why? This doesn't line up to the reality of how headcount is allocated or how budgets are set. Every position has a range the hiring manager can place the new hire in given their experience and fit.

It prevents companies from wasting peoples' time going through a whole interview loop, claiming a job is 200k-400k and then offering 200k-250k regardless. If the 200k isn't attractive to job seekers, they have to raise the floor.

Netflix is particularly egregious but yeah there are postings with ranges like $150K-400K all over. 250K is an incredible swing imo.
DOSUser67 · 2 years ago
I wonder if a future law could include a clause that the salary range must be smaller than the minimum salary. Like you can't have a 250k swing with a 150k minimum salary.

These "as a X" posts always read like propaganda to me lol

This one makes sense, providing local British context. I think it is helpful here.

But usually it seems like they are used to claim superiority. "As a <identity politics tribe member>, this is why my perspective is more important than yours and you are wrong."
