Such stealth discrimination is hard to prove: buyers agents can always say they ignored alisting because it did not meet their client s needs. But Colby Sambrotto, the founder ofForSaleByOwner.com and USRealty.com, a discount broker, says that after trying to sellhis own home in New York by himself, he was forced to hire an agent to get it shown topotential buyers.

　　现在还很难证明这种隐形歧视的存在：买家的代理商可以永远称他们忽略财产清单是因为其并没有满足客户的需求。但是 ForSaleByOwner.com和USRealty.com网站的创始人Colby Sambrotto称，在自己尝试卖掉位于纽约的房产后，他不得不雇一个中介向潜在买家展示房子。

　　Such retaliation is hardly universal: Mr Sambrotto says it was a regular exception ratherthan the rule for his firm s clients in most markets. But because discounters need to make upfor lower commissions with higher volumes, even a small amount of discrimination is oftenenough to drive them out of business. The demise of the 6% commission may still beinevitable. But for now, it seems a long way off.

　　这样的报复心理并不是普遍的：Sambrotto称对于他公司的各个市场的客户来说，与其说是规则，不如说是 正规的例外 。但是由于折现需要用更高的数额弥补较低的佣金，就算是小丁点的歧视都足以把他们赶出这个行业。6%佣金时代的终结可能仍是不可避免的。但是就现在来说，仍是长路漫漫。
