Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit, broadcasting from sunny Southern California.
Jack Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about selling your house without a realtor.
Jill DeWit: Oh no, no, no, no.
Jack Butala: Imagine that.
Jill DeWit: That's not possible.
Jack Butala: This show topic was inspired by a rant on LinkedIn where someone very brilliantly said, "Here's a list of all of the largest lobbyist groups in Washington." Guess what number two is?
Jill DeWit: Isn't that funny?
Jack Butala: Real estate agents. The Association of Realtors is the number two largest lobbyist in the country, propping up the industry falsely-
Jill DeWit: Exactly.
Jack Butala: ... messing with pure supply and demand in a free market.
Jill DeWit: Like, even above tobacco?
Jack Butala: All so you can spend six percent for no reason at all to sell your house.
Jill DeWit: Exactly. It's amazing.
Jack Butala: I have to say this. I think Jill doesn't know this either. We have lost a material percentage of listeners to this show-
Jill DeWit: Uh-oh.
Jack Butala: ... and potential customers because of our rant.
Jill DeWit: Because we don't like realtors?
Jack Butala: Uh-huh (affirmative).
Jill DeWit: Well, not all realtors, but-

Jill DeWit: Yeah.
Jack Butala: Our opinion has cost us money.

Jack Butala: And I'm not sorry.
Jill DeWit: Okay. It's like used-car salesman. Would we be upset if we lost all kinds of listeners that were used-car salesmen?
Jack Butala: No.
Jill DeWit: No. It's the same thing. I hate to say it, everyone, but that's ... Okay. We'll get into it.
Jack Butala: That's what the show's about.
Jill DeWit: Yep.
Jack Butala: If you're a real estate agent and you love your six percent and you high-five your fellow real estate agents because you made six percent on little old lady Mrs. Jones's house because she doesn't know there's another option-
Jill DeWit: Right.
Jack Butala: You can turn your radio off right now.
Jill DeWit: Exactly.
Jack Butala: Otherwise, if you want to learn how to do it and make a ridiculous amount of money doing it the right way and being straight-up and honest and actually helping people, this is a good episode for you.
Jill DeWit: Yep. I have a lot to say. I'm saving it. Totally saving it.
