Legal counsel for N.A.R. approved the agreement early Friday morning, and The New York Times obtained a copy of the signed document.The deal, which lawyers anticipate will be filed within weeks and still needs a federal court’s approval, would end a multitude of legal claims from home sellers who argued that the rules forced them to pay excessive fees.

Good morning!

I got a hold of an agent early Sat morning for a listing that went live late Friday night. 

Good Morning, Is everyone still feeling the STR market is pretty strong here or is long term rental the way to go for a single family house.

Morning all,I am a newcomer to Real Estate Investing out of the Central Virginia area.

Well the first payment of $500 was pulled this morning from my account.

I actually dumped Zillow stock and doubled down on Compass this morning.

It’s possible I did a poor job of explaining this, this isn’t really a service for investors per se’ in fact I would probably in an ideal enjoy doing this more for primary home buyers, this to me is an alternative to the 2.5% commission model, you cut out the most time consuming and often in my opinion least valuable part of the job which is showing people around and opening cabinets and seeing if they are soft close or not lol (I presume in this new world there will be more open house, more showings by listing agents, possibly more services that allow buyers to show themselves houses like the Redfin does on some of its listing) because of that plus the guarantee of getting at least something for your time allows you to theoretically charge much less while still providing the important parts of the job, like you should consider this area, let’s go over this home inspection repost, here’s how we should craft an offer etc, even spending time explaining rent vs buy calculation and personal finance etc, plus the being able to be paid regardless of your advice, I’ve had countless clients who has just a myriad of bad ideas I’ve talked out of, but of course you don’t get paid for that in this commission structure.

Yes for my fund that I GP and for my personal investments we are leaning in to this soft-er market for buyers and pickup up great deals.

For owners it would be that they think of you as their own personal assistant and not as a professional and they monday morning quarterback every little thing that goes on in your property.
