The Pimpact vs Realtor analysis is just simple economic logic. You pay a commission for safety and market access, which Realtors fail at. It is funny how a pimp provides better ROI than a licensed agent 😂

the finding that pimps justify their cut better than realtors is accurate. at least a pimp offers protection while an agent just opens a door.
