ah questi AI!!! Tutti uguali?
Girgovando in rete ho incontrato questo interessante sito che dovrebbe cercare di tutelare il consumatore americano:

Ho letto questo studio e ne sono rimasto colpito dalle diverse analogie nostrane.
Purtroppo e' in inglese.

Interessante anche questo(stessa area) e da cui si deduce che in USA la commissione e' in media il 6/7%..almeno secondo questa fonte:
How the Real Estate Cartel Harms Consumers and How Consumers Can Protect Themselves , 06/19/06
Estraggo un paio di affermazioni:
Traditional brokers not only continue to oppose separate buyer and seller compensation but also
have vigorously promoted state anti-rebate laws which prevent brokers working with buyers from rebating a portion of the 3% commission split to their clients.
(ricordate la sentenza contro il cartello delle commissioni di Fiaip e amici?)
Ma vediamo anche questa interessante affermazione e su come alla fine la natura speculativa supera qualsiasi modello economico proposto.
Seller-Paid Commissions: In the current system, sellers usually ostensibly pay the full commission.
In reality, a portion of that commission is added to the sale price of the home so that the seller and buyer both end up paying a portion of the commission. This system helps traditional brokers maintain high commissions through the listing of commission splits.
Typically, on either a 5% or 6% commission, 3% will be offered to brokers with buyer clients, and that commission split is disclosed to brokers on real estate firm and multiple listing service
databases. This listing of the 3% split, of which buyers are rarely aware, then acts as a powerful force to discourage lower splits of 2% or even 1% because listing brokers, and their sellers, fear that properties carrying these lower splits will not be shown. If sellers and buyers each separately negotiated compensation with their brokers, uniform 5-6% commissions would quickly disappear.
Sarà contento Roberto Ponziani.
Non c'e' un cavolo da fare...anche nella democrazia piu' evoluta quando ci stanno di mezzo i soldi alla fine nella maggior parte dei casi i principi morali e il bene comune svaniscono nel nulla.
