When people do not have money to buy, first they refuse to pay the brokers. When commodities, stocks and real estate all fall apart, no one is willing to pay hefty commissions. The seats in the exchanges trade for little money. The currencies and bonds become popular because when inflation is negative, growth is negative, any guaranteed zero or above return is the best.

The real estate market is under deflation. The sellers and buyers are reluctant to pay full service brokers. They like to use Internet and save tons of money. They are also upset with the Government because of real estate transfer fees.

Real estate, stock, bond and futures brokers will see some worst of their days during 2007-2012. People will demand zero commissions and the brokers may be wiped out. During deflation Internet based zero cost transaction will become popular. People are already using Escrow.com instead of attorneys to close on deals. Similar services will allow investors and home buyers to get rid of brokers in real estate, bonds, stocks and futures trading. Car dealers will be wiped out too. The car companies will have convenient show rooms with Kiosks. As you can book your travel, you can book your car that will be delivered to your home.

Internet will become more popular and cause the dooms day for real estate, stock, bond and futures brokers.
