I have owned 3 brokerages over my career and its the 80 20 rule  20% of agents make 80% of all revenue.

The only change to the existing law was to expand the definition of "Provide real estate brokerage services" to include the following:Regardless of whether the activity is engaged in for another person, engaging in the buyer or selling, offering to buy or sell, or marketing of real estate or otherwise dealing in contracts, including assignable contracts, for real estate or options on real estate, on two or more occasions in any 12-month period.Principals buying and selling on their own account clearly fall within this expanded definition.

Yet I can't find a broker/agent willing to do a 'fee for service' type contract. 

.  Commissions being negotitiable doesn't mean every individual agent or brokerage needs to negotiate their fees.

DOJ has solved a "problem" that didn't exist and amazingly has now hurt the very consumers they thought they were helping, all while stealing millions from brokerages and NAR members on bad litigation.That's what I see from my foxhole.

Third - Refer and Defer to Brokerage Policy!

HMM the title cos I know down here ( who said he's dead,) and my good friend who owns one of the biggest brokerages in Miami says Bob stay away big correction is coming, there very slow.  

Also, don’t forget some brokerage fees when you find another renter, so account for at least some vacancy and fees once every 18 months. 

You need to speak with the broker/agent for any further details or information."

If you have $100,000 in your brokerage account to borrow against, why not just use the money and secure a traditional loan, versus gambling with an unknown and variable future rate?
