@ thank you for responding. New subscriber love your videos.

If you are the broker of a 1-person brokerage then no, but if you aren't a solo broker then yes.

@@BalboaRealEstatethank you so much for your response and for your wonderful videos. God bless you ❤

They have definitely monopolized the real estate agency trade. Another way to think about it is what is the alternative to NAR? There is no XYZ Association...just NAR.

Agreed

Yeah, the AOR acts as a gatekeeper to many professional tools, so when you ask an agent to sever ties you are asking them to forgo their tools which makes it hard for your and captive for the AOR.

I'm afraid my crystal ball is quite opaque these days.

Your point of view is very welcome. I have a limited knowledge base of distressed commercial. While I'm familiar with decreased demand for commercial, I'm still apprehensive about opportunity for anyone but buyers. As far as residential my position still stands. There are a series of layers that distressed real estate goes through before it opens to the public and all those layers scalp opportunity. I have been privy to every part of the process and I know the details intimately. Even when a bank takes back title they are too greedy to simply assign listings to agents. They make you use their platform and ask for a referral fee on your commission paid by note holder. They make you jump through hoops to a point of near emotional breakdown. The game is rigged my friend. Not just a little, but every step of the way, from start to end. I can assure you I didn't talk anyone out of a lucrative career, no sir, quite the opposite.

Thanks, I should probably do an updated version of this.

A landlord can't raise the rental list price more than 10% in an affected area. It's simple, follow the law and move on.

Agents join NAR and the state local board for Forms, MLS access, and the legal hotline. These associations also have training and member discounts on other services. But, it's mostly because everyone wants access to standardized forms and the realtor-affiliated MLS. I run a realtor brokerage but I see that the time has come when a non-realtor brokerage can conduct business just the same. So, I'm helping launch CavourRealty.com, an independent brokerage.

That's not up to NAR, all they can due is state that a buyer' rep agreement with the terms of the settlement is used. Whether agents use addendums, compensation schedules, or even their own version of a buyer rep. agreement is none of NAR's business so long as it doesn't violate the settlement agreement. It's really managed on a broker by broker basis.

Yes

Required for realtors everywhere, but now CA has a law that requires it even for non-realtors!

Yes, trust name = seller name. Just the trustee(s) signs.

The buyer will ask in an offer, but the seller does not offer anything in advance. Those days are over.

Did the seller credit you through escrow? If so, it would have reduced the cash that you need to bring to closing. So you would be in possession of more cash, that's where the credit would be.

Correct

It's workable even though the version is dated.

I'm honored to have you both on the team and I love your channel!
