Yahoo!!!

The 2026 Atlantic hurricane season has broken a 60-year record for the latest start to hurricane formation since satellite tracking began in 1966. This unprecedented quiet period is primarily driven by a very strong El Niño producing high wind shear that prevents Atlantic storms from organizing.

Real estate is a relationship business, but setting boundaries is non-negotiable.

A couple of years ago (before Buyer Broker Agreements were standard practice), I spent weeks filming custom walkthroughs and touring homes for a buyer relocating from out of the country.

Out of nowhere, he called to let me know he went around me, called a listing agent directly, and had them write an offer. That meant I was completely out of the transaction.

Then came the shocking part: he actually got upset with me because I declined to show up at his home inspection and give him free advisory feedback.

If you hire another agent to represent you, they get the responsibility of doing the work.

Curious to hear from fellow business owners and home buyers alike—how would you have handled this conversation? Let’s hear it in the comments! 👇
