Real Estate Realities With The RebelBroker

The NAR settlement is in the final stages of approval and will likely go into effect in the middle of July 2024. It is not an understatement when I say that this change to how buyers agents are being compensated will introduce chaos into the real estate world until the systems in place adapt to this new reality. BUYERS HIT HARDEST These changes will leave Buyers having to directly pay their agents themselves. However, none of the current systems in place, including lending, are ready for this change. While it will lead to many more options for buyers in terms of representation, it also...

Things are looking rough for California residents in 2024. A nearly $100 billion dollar surplus has been turned into $73 billion (and growing) deficit. Sadly, the solution from Sacramento seems to be doubling down on the policies that are causing many of these issues. New changes to the law have been proposed that will be voted on later this year designed to make it easier for California politicians to raise taxes.  In addition, this approach seems poised to try and challenge the one thing that has at least kept property taxes at bay - proposition 13.  Instead of making the needed...

What is the biggest trick real estate agents use when working with clients? We will discuss that today!

real estateFor those of you that have been listening to my show for a while, you know that I take a slightly different approach. In terms of what I consider to be the "Right" way to do things, the current dominant attitude in real estate just does not make the cut. Today, we are going to reveal the greatest weapon that real estate agents will bring out to get you to make an emotional rather than a rational decision. It is a tool  that is taught by EVERYONE in real estate. On its own, it is not a bad thing. To one degree or another, we all do it every day. However, when this tool is taken to the degree that you embrace the 'small deception' - which is standard operating procedure in the world of real estate - you are crossing a line that leads to an attitude that too easily can brush the truth aside for more and more critical issues - which is a bad thing. Now you see what I did there? I have teased the point of todays show hard. I am told that this is the way to write show notes! So consider yourself teased! I will not only lay out what this tool is and how it is used against you, but how you should counter it so that you can get what you deserve from your chosen real estate professional. Oh, and for all you real estate agents out there, we will chat about how you can still use this technique, just not be a lying butt head about it.
