I personally think that most services will still be around but the task will be different... less "sales" more service. Interesting observations and I agree with the generational comment.

Title agents are already on that road. I believe this is where things are naturally evolving. I don't know how long it will take for the process because it's partly generational. Eventually the demographic of those preferring the on-line experience will replace those who want the human to hold their hand. I just think those who run real estate operations need to know the free or more affordable entree into a platform like this comes with a larger price.

They (FNIS) don't need to charge anyone on the site to justify the expense, it's simply an extension of their other businesses. I believe he is alluding to fact that some of the other sites that depend on agents’ listings in order to generate traffic maybe in trouble - if the agents get tired of being charged and pull their listings - these sites have nothing left to generate traffic or to monetize. @Diane – I think that is the Cyberhomes advantage that Marty is trying to hint at.
