Taking the kids (20&21) to a Halloween party.
My son is yelling at his sister to hurry up because dad's old people party can't handle staying up to late .

It seems like EVERYONE is talking about the new Real Estate Commission guidelines and the lawsuit. As a whole, this is really not going to change much in the industry. There are other states where exactly what this lawsuit has settled on, is already doing. So, here are the quick facts. PM me if you want me to elaborate.
-- Instead of the listing broker offering a commission to whomever brings the buyer, the seller now must do that. That will be done through a Buyer's Agent Compensation Agreement that the listing agent will sign with the sellers. What this means is that the seller will still pay for a buyer to come to their house and be represented, it is just worded differently.
-- Buyers MUST sign a buyers agency agreement when they meet with an agent. This will just state that the agent represents the buyer, and what the fee will be. If the seller is not offering a compensation to bring a buyer, then the buyer and agent can negotiate the fee.
So, that is about it. The news has portrayed this as some major change, but it really is not. If you want to sell your home quickly and for the highest amount, then you are still going to be paying about the same amount. Prices are not going to change, there isn't going to be some major uproar, just a few minor tweaks.
Hope this helps!

Prices have dipped, but it would take ALOT more to undo the record appreciation we’ve experienced over the past couple of years! Take a look at how much a home price would need to fall to cancel out the recent equity gained!

Even with Rates being up, some competition is down. You are still paying over asking a lot of the time, but the difference is you are not paying AS MUCH over asking.

Everyone is so concerned about interest rates. Yes, we are still getting over asking price offers, but they are not as CRAZY over asking as they were before.. There is your 10 year cost.... Surprising right?

As a real estate team owner you work through dinners, horse riding lessons, playtime, bedtime, etc... But, then you get times like this! I wouldn't trade my job for the world, I get to make people happy being in their homes of their dreams; and I get to do things like this with my family....
