>commission is problematic as it incentivizes them to show you the most expensive houses
Don't know everyone's experience but Realtors show whatever house the client wants to visit and clients can and do find houses for them selves.
>flat fee or a flat hourly rate
Does the client still pay this flat fee/hourly rate if they don't buy or sell the home? I'm sure a realtor would have no problem showing you up to X homes for $Y,000 paid upfront.
