    Most “agents” are outdated and are only middlemen.

    Like, no one in their right mind has a travel agent, real estate agents are avoided wherever possible, and talent agents are just as useless.

    Pre internet they made sense, but now theyre just parasites that take a percentage of large transactions for often no effort.

      Hard disagree on real estate agent. They’ve been an absolute lifesaver for me in finding reasonable places to rent that actually feel like home, and I’ve noticed every time that the agents seem to have access to listings that I don’t see online.

      Plus, as the buyer, their services are often free. Literally nothing to lose from taking a meeting with one to see what options they can present.
