Iggys was a discounter and touted that real estate agents get paid too much and that they offered the SAME thing that real estate agents did (they viewed that the MLS was really the only thing that real estate agents had to offer). Am I glad they failed? Sure. Their entire business model was built around that real estate agents had nothing to offer and offered no value to the consumer.

They see distinct differences in models, not the more subtle ones that exist between Jonathon and me. The point is that while 100k "traditional" agents (and quite a few brokerages) will bite the dust, the business model will remain, at least for the foreseeable future. FWIW, I don't agree with the "you get what you pay for" argument as the reason for failed businesses. Clearly they had clients, but they bet the house on making it on the mortgage end. For me, this is only about a business model doomed to financial failure because they counted on client loyalty.. I agree that the consumer would think otherwise, Barry.
