"Our own MLS" already exists in multiple forms; getting everyone to agree to use the same one is the problem, and AI isn't going to solve that.

My buyer's agent did those things for me yesterday, and would do them again today if I asked. That's what a buyer's agent is for.

The 6% fee (more normally 5% around these parts, western US) is paid by the sellers, but with the buyer's money. Usually. However, it's important to note that there was never a requirement for anyone to pay anything; it was simply what was commonly put into contracts. The settlement didn't change anything about that in particular.

I just sold a house a couple weeks ago. I agreed to pay my seller's agent 2.5% out of the sale price. I also, in the contract, offered to pay 2.5% to the buyer's agent. In the event that my seller's agent was also the buyer's agent, that 2.5% would be refunded to me. What actually ended up happening was that in the offer that we ended up accepting, the buyer asked us to pay 3% instead of 2.5% to their agent. We agreed.

Hey, can you send your AI agent over to this house I'm looking at and measure out the bedrooms for me? Also, there's tile in the kitchen; was it laid correctly (tile under baseboard) or was it laid badly (burying the bottom of the baseboard)?

Scratch that, apparently such things exist. What a world we live in!

Y'know what I want? A wasm runtime for microcontrollers. It would be super awesome to be able to write code for a microcontroller in any language I want.
