Ontario’s Real Estate Industry Loses 45,000 Workers in 1 Year (25% of total)

I think many of those 73K licensed real estate brokers, are actually just investors representing themselves.  If you represent yourself in a purchase or sale, you can save ~2.5%.  If the average property is $1.2M, thats $30K a pop.  And, if you don't trust brokers to represent your best interest, you might even be able to do better in the negotiations (improving price).
