I get more litigation work from private deals gone wrong. If you pay someone to do your nails, shouldn't you pay someone to sell your house

Brad raises an interesting point.
Digging a bit deeper, name one thing for me that you didn't become better at with practice and experience. I can't think of anything. At least anything that matters much.
I reflect back on my very first job. I washed dishes at Bonanza Steak House before I was out of school. I'll never forget those busy dinner rushes and how the dishes would pile up behind me as I struggled to catch up. During my first few shifts, buckets of dishes flowed off of the on-ramp and down the hallway. It was hot, messy and fast-paced. It took some time to get a system down and to reach a point where I could push those dishes through as fast as the busboys could carry them in. I eventually became a pretty good dishwasher but it wasn't automatic.
Anyone can wash dishes but the guy who has been around a while will do it faster, better and in a more cost-effective manner than the new man on the line.
The same thing applies to selling houses and everything else for that matter. Anyone can do it. The question is, how well can they do it and at what cost?
