The challenges around NAR’s Clear Cooperation Policy may not be. Choosing to keep company listing inventory proprietary is not in the client’s best interests. It’s not clear how all of this will play out, though some are […]

I believe the outcome will be to raise the bar – that agents will work as skilled professionals who can easily demonstrate their value to prospective clients. It will take real effort and when you remember that agents handle the most expensive transaction most […]

Each one of these states has a different ‘read’ on how to work going forward as a result of these lawsuits.  I realize that for the most part they are not fully settled but where is the guidance on all of this? NAR has attorneys handling this. […]

The topic on everyone’s mind (I’m speaking real estate here) are the lawsuits and the forms governing our agreements with clients.  There seems to be a disconnect with DOJ insisting on no commission disclosure and forms that have already been created and trained.

The DOJ is like a dog with a bone when it comes to commission disclosures, and they’re not having any of it. How have you prepared? If you’re among the people still concerned mainly with ‘forms’, get over it.  You can’t have a valid form when […]

Then we take our measure at mid year, turns out to be a different story.  At least, it’s reality. We can diagnose from real numbers. […]

A race to change forms – when nothing is final. A seeming lack of understanding that this change in how we conduct business is real. We tried […]
