Transcript: 

Jack Butala:                         Jack and Jill here.

Jill DeWit:                            Hi.

Jack Butala:                         Welcome to the Jack Jill Show, entertain, real estate, investment talk. I'm Jack Butala.

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-

Jack Butala:                         It's directly our real opinion. This is for reality.

Jill DeWit:                            Yeah.

Jack Butala:                         Our opinion has cost us money.

Jill DeWit:                            Well, you know, it's-

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.

Jack Butala:                         Before we actually get into the topic, let's take a question posted by one of our members on [thejackshow.com 00:02:11] online community. It's free.
