A revolutionary exposé of the real estate industry, "The Complicated Home Sale" reveals how the traditional system disadvantages both buyers and sellers. With over fifty years of industry experience, Richard Montgomery unveils the hidden inefficiencies, conflicts of interest, and systemic problems that cost consumers billions annually. More importantly, he presents a clear vision for transformation through technology, transparency, and consumer empowerment. Drawing on his nationally syndicated "Dear Monty" column and decades of industry expertise, Montgomery demonstrates how emerging technologies and new business models can create a more efficient, fair, and consumer-friendly real estate market. This book isn't just a critique-it's a roadmap for essential change in an industry long overdue for reform.
