I could be wrong, I honestly think this is such a systemic change that it’s hard to predict the ripples, but I find it extraordinary hard to believe this doesn’t lead to a substantial reduction in commissions, I’m literally taking with a client in an hour, I like the guy, I suspect he may be a repeat customer and I’m not gonna take any chance I lose him over a few dollars, so I’ll negotiate with him, I suspect other agents will take the same approach, especially given the real risk buyers just walk and go unrepresented, whether that’s a good idea or not l, it will happen.

@Eddie L. it has not.

Listening to the podcast everyday has lit a fire under me. 

I own MTR's in a San Antonio medical center and I can give you this advise: Traveling nurses/professionals are looking for small accommodations (lower price point), they are concerned with safety, as they are usually women traveling alone, well-lit walkways by their parking spot, private entrances/bath/laundry.

I just had dim sum with another investor from Russian Hill, San Francisco who flew out to check out the neighborhoods and is in contract on a duplex on the west side of Columbus. 

Although a pain in hindsight it's needed - proper ventilation... plus the fan has a nice bright light which adds a lot of light to the dim bathroom.

I want to pluck my own eyes out when a client buys a $1 million dollar Colorado cabin, spends $40k on furniture, and then throws up the listing with poorly lit cell-phone photos.
