Redfin would do this first.
Since they have a fair number of listings, I'm waiting for them to offer something where the buyer gets a substantial discount for buying it directly from the Redfin agent, without using a buyer's agent. Next step would be to sell listings exclusively through Redfin and not through the MLS, though this would be riskier.

I think this was the original business plan of Zillow & Trulia - they wanted people to list without the help of agents. It never really became successful enough so they sold out.
I don't understand how agents can charge 6% in America when they charge 1 or 1.5% in the UK.

#20Didn't they actually have a car sales service at one time? It seems like I remember them doing something with this about 15 years ago.
