You could use the same system if you are willing to get licensed as a realtor and pay the annual fees associated. Hardly the definition of a monopoly.

In what other fields would you use that excuse to steal from people?

The realtor sells her time and knowledge.You received a service from her and you are obligated. Or, she'll see you in court.

Did you write that with a straight face?

Sure. No problem.

It was better than calling him a troll or something. From a strictly academic standpoint, I just wonder how some folks rationalize their mistreatment of others.

The OP claims to have signed nothing.

The agent's chances of coming back on the OP are nil. Less, even when factoring in the possibility of public embarrassment for being a dull tool.

I thought NC required buyer agency agreements.

Only to be a buyer's agent.

Seller Sub-agency requires only a disclosure. Working with Real Estate Agents.

You can always start your own listing service.

Zillow will probably dominate the non-agent listing arena since you can already put your listing on there for like $50.
