Ad Targets Investors, Not Realtors (Phew!!)
I got a momentary scare looking at the pop-up ad (above), until I realized that the advertiser was mutual fund giant Fidelity, and its target audience was investors, not Realtors.
The “commissions” that Fidelity is referring to are the fees investors pay to buy and sell stock, NOT what Realtors get paid at closing.
P.S.: For Realtors, I believe 2010 was officially “the year without commissions.”
