Think:: if we give $25,000 to buyers?
A. Where does the government recoup this money? Taxes.
B. Without inventory this will only raise house prices $25,000. Sellers are not dumb!
C. They also want to tax Unrealized Capital Gains. So in 2 years you may get taxed for the value increase in your equity, even if you do not sell. (No way they will only tax millionaires)
3 million homes over 48 months 62,500 units by 50 states = 1,250 per year only!
The need for housing is real. but we need more units. Without units and lower rates we are stale. Slowly drifting to a buyers market.

ATTENTION HOME BUYERS
Beginning August 17th, a Realtor cannot show you a home unless you have a signed agreement with them. This used to be simple, however from August 17th on-wards, a Realtor can only unlock a door for you with a signed agreement. This is mandatory for anyone with a Realtor designation.
Typically, the form used is a Buyer Representation Agreement. The Buyer Representation Agreement IS A contract outlining the roles, duties, and responsibilities your Realtor owes you.
This new requirement may seem confusing however it’s really in your best interest. Choosing the RIGHT Realtor to help you buy a home is crucial. The good news is that you as a consumer can decide when the agreement expires. If you’re not ready to fully commit to a Realtor, you can request an agreement that lasts a day, a week, a month, for an exact address, etc.
Please don’t be upset with your local Realtors when they ask you to sign something before showing you a home. We are working hard to remain compliant with laws that have changed nationally.
If you have more questions on the changes or are about to start your home search, let’s talk! We are ready to help you.
Hire an experienced Realtor who has your best interest at heart, that will connect you with reputable local vendors and create the best home buying experience

Purchasing a home is a HUGE step! You’ll want someone that will look out for your best interest, someone that knows the local market well, someone that understands the contracts and addenda, someone that can explain your contractual deadlines and someone that will answer your call or text! 🧠
A couple key points on the new changes:
- Seller's Agents can no longer openly advertise the commission that their seller is willing to pay in the MLS.
- Sellers can and in most cases still will pay the buyer agent commission.
- Sellers cannot pay more than what the buyer and their agent agree to in writing prior to showing homes.
- Should the seller choose not to pay the buyer's agent, the buyer is obligated to either pay their agent directly or choose a different house to purchase. Both of those options are completely negotiable and on the table.
- The length of the agreement and the specific terms within it are completely negotiable between the buyer and their buyer's agent so don't stress over being locked into some long and complex contract. Just have a great conversation with your buyer's agent and know exactly what you're signing before you start the home buying process!

While it's certainly possible to sell a property privately and use a real estate lawyer for closing, there are several reasons why many people choose to work with a Realtor. Here are a few key benefits:
1. Expert Pricing and Market Analysis: Realtors have access to detailed market data and are skilled at pricing properties according to the current market. They can help ensure that your home is priced competitively, attracting the right buyers and helping you maximize your return.
2. Marketing and Exposure: Realtors have the resources and networks to market your property effectively, both online and offline. This includes professional photography, online listings, social media promotion, and direct outreach to potential buyers and other agents.
3. Time and Convenience: Selling a property involves many steps and can be time-consuming. Realtors handle all the details, from scheduling showings to negotiating offers, allowing you to focus on your other priorities.
4. Negotiation Expertise: Realtors are experienced negotiators who can help you navigate offers and counteroffers. They work to protect your interests and ensure you get the best possible deal.
5. Contractual Guidance: While a real estate lawyer handles the closing, Realtors help manage the entire transaction process, ensuring all contractual obligations are met.
6. Professional Network: Realtors often have a network of professionals, such as inspectors, appraisers, and contractors, who can assist in addressing any issues that arise during the sale.
7. Emotional Detachment: Selling a home can be emotional, and a Realtor provides an objective perspective, helping you make informed decisions based on facts and market conditions.
In summary, a Realtor brings expertise, resources, and peace of mind to the selling process, making it easier and often more profitable for homeowners.
