6% for realtors fees is outrageous! I had no idea it was anything like that in the US.

Here in the UK, it’s about 1.5%. That can often be haggled down to 1% if you have an expensive house that’s desirable enough to sell itself. And even that is getting majorly distributed by online agents, who are offering a flat fee service rather than % of property, which can be an enormous saving.

At 6% it seems a market with a huge amount of fat, just asking for a new player to come and disrupt

You are missing that the seller pays both his realtor and the buyers realtor

Why does the buyer need their own realtor for just buying a normal house?

How are buying agents compensated in the UK?

You wouldn't typically use one.
