.✅ Buyers still working with buyer’s agents✅ Most sellers still offering a buyer’s agent compensation✅ More transparency to buyers and sellersSure there were some changes, but I am seeing things are BUSINESS AS USUAL.Seller’s are still given the opportunity to negotiate all commissions (including if they choose to pay a buyer’s agent), and buyers are still given the opportunity to do the same regarding their agent’s commission

So, if the tenant did that and got fired, you are the landlord would compensate them for the loss of their job?

Once they realize the mistake they made they’re too embarrassed to acknowledge this openly so you mainly hear about the cheerful student  “success” stories which the next wave of naive victims rely on. 

The victims weren’t a bunch of super rich people where it didn’t affect them.

For example, an agent would collect a reduced commission, flat transaction fee, or no commission if the buyer sources an off-market deal directly.In your case, if you'd like to compensate your agent, you can include it in the loan.

I wanted to reach out regarding a serious matter involving Jay Tenenbaum (and Seth Gershberg his partner), as I know you are an servicer/educator and wanted to make sure people that you surround yourself with don't fall victim to his bad business practices.
