#5 I started working at an airport and now I get it, people really need to check-in early, lots of docs get generated after check-in closes.

#5 that's only 5 hours, assuming a 1 hour drive to an airport, leaves just 4 hours for security, lines, abs mishaps. Not that much leeway

Are you really a Canadian if you aren't overly excited that the scene in a movie set in the US Midwest was actually filmed in your area/city

You're not exactly wrong. They've created a system that requires their involvement. Still overpaid for what they do.

The money doesn't always pay for the exhaustion from that effort constantly all year. That's assuming they can even get sales through.

Companies gobbling up housing is stupid frustrating for many of them too.

#5 that’s called being ready.
SpacemanSpiff1000
Busy airport 2 hours early. Live roughly 30 minutes from airport. 15 minutes to get everything in the car and lock everything up¹
SpacemanSpiff1000
That means leaving the house in less than 2 hours. Perfectly normal to have the bags out and ready.²
Mavgurian
For real. I would be concerned when my luggage was not packed and ready 5h before a flight for which I have to be at the airport 2h early.
BrokenSpork
This is how i like to be panic packing the same morning never goes well. We make a list and start packing a week before.
interhawk
Great, I came to the comments looking to tease my wife, and here’s everyone validating her 1 week early packing…?

More time to remember you forgot something and not be late. And how far away is the airport?

#2 I've been riding the high of Stargate SG-1 narratively taking place in my state for probably a decade now.
Maboroshi1994
even if it was filmed in and around vancouver
GravyEducation
But do they get it right? Cuz Fargo just... kinda nails it. Hyperbolic but. Yep.
StarSumiaki
Hell if I know. But it's cool to think there's a super secret space portal program in Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
theaecy
Personally, I appreciate all the mentions of Minnesota. Heck yeah!
GravyEducation
"Never made it up to Minnesota..." - the best RHCP line

Stargate SG-1 is 25 years old though
StarSumiaki
It may have started airing in '97, but that doesn't mean I started watching it in '97, much less developed a proper appreciation for it.
ScarletEmerald
Vancouver?
StarSumiaki
Keyword "narratively". The SGC is based out of Cheyenne Mountain Complex, which puts it, in story, in my state and near my city.
StarSumiaki
Alas, I do not live in Canada so I cannot lay claim to living on several thousand alien worlds from Stargate, hahah

As a Realtor, that would be a commission on a apx. $600k home, and the customary gift is 2-3% of said commission. That would be ~$400.
Slappydupappy
Nah.
DaveSamsonite
If you are not tipping at least 18%, should you really be sucking all the nutrients out of the new homeowner? J/k

sheepyman83
3% of commission, not 3% of purchase price.
DaisyWarrior
Hey not to job shame but fuck the realtor business it helped kill cities that aren't designed like shit
grader1987350
I think it’s one of those don’t hate the player hate the game situations.
Dersce
I've been working with REALTORS in my area to try and convince them of this. Also to generally avoid gift cards as closing gifts.
Grenateh
And still unacceptable
DaveSamsonite
My wife sold her dad’s house to a friend of her dad’s minister to avoid a realtor. Cost her $20+k in selling price. Most agents R reputable.
mezztit3
In 6 months I’ve probably gotten 5 cards from my realtor. Opened the 1st, was a congrats card. The next few went straight in the trash.
mezztit3
Randomly opened the latest one and it had a Lowes gift card in it. Damn, really wondering what was in the other ones I threw away unopened
thatoneguyfrommn
Bust!
DaveSamsonite
Golden tickets and cold hard Doge coin.

ChimeraOfFury
there's a customary gift? 2 homes, and both times I got a bottle of champagne I didn't want. two realtors, two different states.
thatoneguyfrommn
Perhaps shitty, big box brokerages/real estate companies. Everyone I’ve worked for has promoted gift giving.
ChimeraOfFury
I'll give you that the first one definitely was a shitty big box company. Not so much the second though. Legit did not know this was a thing
PutItInNeutral
We sold our last house for $41k more than we would have gotten if we sold it to one of those services like Orchard or Zillow using a realtor
Richter12x2
I checked Opendoor, and they offered me about $20k less than I wanted. Listed with a realtor, and 2 months of hassle, sold for the same $.
kaarbaakimgr
If your realtor lists on Zillow, you are bad at choosing a realtor.
PutItInNeutral
We looked into using Orchard first and got an offer from them. Then we went with our regular realtor which was the correct decision. That...

...is what I was trying to say in my initial comment.

You were clear, they just misunderstood.

HollerinAtTheVoid
Financial benefit and all of your time and effort as soon as they learn you made good money. Then it’s “oh that wasn’t worth it”
2graves
I do not see the need for Realtors unless you're moving on short notice to a wildly unfamiliar place. What benefit do they provide
HollerinAtTheVoid
Well mine saved me about $20k in extra costs on a house we bought for $180k, because the seller tried to screw me over. They found a very
Gaelwyn
The house is the closing “gift”. They worked hard for their commission, I wouldn’t expect them to give me a part of it.
Frederf
If a realtor is giving a gift to the customer, they charge too much.
Gaelwyn
I don’t think that’s true either. They’re being paid fairly and they earned it and should keep all of it.
2graves
Change their rate to hourly and tell me if it seems reasonable
Gaelwyn
Yes, it would be. Sure they might make $12-$18k on one $600k sale, they also do a lot of work that never results in sales (or commissions).
Electromedy
Isn't the commission also paid by the seller?
AriPlanetLord
Not in a hot market where there are 10 buyers per home. The buyer will end up paying it or lose the house.
Electromedy
I didn't pay it. My seller did. Guess I am a....Fortunate Son.
thatoneguyfrommn
Nope. Still paid by the seller, unless you’re really trying to sweeten the pot, or are straight up desperate.
hogeyegrex
Where’s the seller getting the money?
wandermanspacebot
From the buyer. For their home.
BigBeeOhBee
thatoneguyfrommn
And home equity.
wandermanspacebot
No, the money for the agent's commission comes out of the sale.
SerenePrincess013
Depends on a bunch of factors, but yea, usually.
thatoneguyfrommn
This.
liquidFox9
And where does the seller get the money for that? Hmmm
SerenePrincess013
Same place money always comes from, Brain. The trees, NARF!
