Long Time Greenwich, CT Real Estate Guy Weighs in on 1st Realtors Commission Shakeup in 100 Years
The Debbie Nigro Show
On August 17th, new rules rolled out that overhaul the way Realtors get paid to help people buy and sell their homes. The changes are part of a $418 million settlement announced in March by the National Association of Realtors. The changes end the ‘informal’ rules of a typical agent commission payout. Now real estate agents across the country must sign upfront with prospective homebuyers what they’re willing to pay. Historically the ‘sellers’ paid commission fees for both their own agent and the home ‘buyer’s’ agent. The typical commission has been 5...

Gary Who Hired Me For My 1st Radio Job Came To Talk About The Importance Of Talking To Strangers
The Debbie Nigro Show
Everybody Knows My Show Theme is "Risk It or Regret It!" Whatever IT is for YOU! So, I thought it would be fun to share how I risked getting my first paying radio job after college. It’s a memorable story of driving in a thunderstorm at 11 o’clock at night after working all day at another job, to a radio station in an old house in Briarcliff Manor, NY where Howard Stern had worked, to audition for an immediate opening for a news reporter. I invited the guy who called me the next morning to tell me I got the job as the news reporter for WRNW Radio, to come join me in...
info_outlineMy greatest joy is discovering somebody I wasn’t aware of who's doing something uniquely meaningful.
That brings me to Brian Page. He is a Modern Husband. What does that even mean?
Brian Page spent his career improving lives through personal finance education and he has now founded a platform called ‘Modern Husbands’ to help couples navigate their home as a team.
He and his wife have been married for over 20 years and have 3 kids. He says they’re an everyday dual income American family.
For the early part of their marriage, Brian was the one working out of the house and working long hours. His wife was home managing their life and taking care of their kids. Then one day things changed. His wife got a great job opportunity that paid more than he was making, and they made the decision to swap roles. Brian’s new job was much harder than he ever realized. When he and his wife switched working roles, he was seriously blown away by his new work responsibilities as a stay-at-home Dad!
He recently posted something on LinkedIn that caught my attention.
It was a list called ‘The Mental Load’.
In it Brian listed all the things that go on in somebody's day who's at home managing a family household. Wow - It really gives respect and insight to the day-to-day responsibilities of the stay-at-home spouse!
Brian said,
“For much of our marriage, I was the 60-80-hour-a-week breadwinner who did very little to manage the home. Early in our marriage, I probably would’ve rolled my eyes at a conversation about the mental load. You just don’t know what you don’t know, and that’s not necessarily anyone’s fault. “
“Many men rightfully feel defensive when we hear we need to do more at home. Most of us simply slip into doing certain tasks without understanding the invisible labor that goes with them.”
“I created a mental load list with just a few examples to provide some context of what it takes to run a home. However, as much as we would like our homes to be run by checklists, it’s just not that simple.”
“It’s been my experience that men desperately want to be great for their spouses. What often stands in the way is an understanding of the mental load that accompanies the tasks needed for a home to run, which is why I wrote this extensive post.”
Marriage is a partnership built on trust, love, and mutual respect.
Brian says he’s trying to show couples how to navigate life as a couple better.
I personally thought Brian’s ‘mental load’ list was LOUD and worth sharing for any stay-at-home parent who’s been frustrated trying to explain to their spouse what the heck they’ve been doing all day ‘at home’!

BTW: Brian who spent 15 years as a personal finance and economics educator was recognized as a National Educator of the Year by the Milken Foundation and Ohio Department of Education. He was a CNN Money Hero, a CEE Forbes Award winner, and a former Working Group Member of the U.S. President's Advisory Council on Financial Capability.
He says, life and family change, and his priorities now are to support his wife's career ambitions and his children's needs
