Real estate commissions

[EricWBeck]

Most traditional real estate agents seem to be charging relatively the same range of rates for listing and selling property.

With a professionally taken set of pictures posted on the MLS and a fairly priced home it practically sells it's self given how the listing gets automatically syndicated to every website out there. If an agent lives in a high priced area like Miami or anywhere in California even a 1% commission is pretty substantial (compared to the typical 3% that most list for).

Why does the forum think that agents have seen so little pressure for reducing commissions? What could someone do to take advantage of an opportunity in an area overdue for change?
