Are Realtors/real estate agents REALLY worth 6% of the sale price of my home?

I’m not saying that the fee is 100% perfect by any means. I’m just saying that I watched the amount of work that went into selling my house over 14 months and it was not unreasonable.

BTW beef commodity prices now range from $1.79 for ground to $10 for prime tenderloin. What’s the markup at your butcher? Mine would be 100% or more.
