Every one of us has made mistakes at some point. Consider financial planning

It is true. With the assistance of a financial planner, I was able to diversify my portfolio across many markets, resulting in a net profit of more than $1 million from high dividend yield bonds, ETFs, and equities. It is critical that you have an array of exposures, particularly with established lucrative firms

Would you mind telling me about your financial planner ?

Rent controls often result in serious deferred maintenance and sub-standard housing. Tenants deserve clean and safe housing. investors are entitled to a "fair" rate of return on their investment. Otherwise, we will loose are rental housing stock. No one will benefit from that.

SOC?

I don't need your lecture as a gateway to commenting. Now to the topic. There was another way to solve the problem. Make MLS open to ALL sellers: by owner, on line, flat fee agents, etc.. Disclose all fee information to buyers and sellers whether or not they are agents. Outlaw all pocket listing's. I Transparency was the real problem. You tried to exert undue power over the market through the NAR. This is the resukt.

@@richardhay645 being Transparant does not require all aspects of the transaction to be made public. That wont help anything.

@@richardhay645 I love your thought process and considerations for transparency. I'm a huge fan of transparency. Couple of thoughts/questions: Removing pocket listings has nothing to do with transparency and eliminates a selling option for Sellers. Are you suggesting that Sellers only be allowed to sell in specific ways? Transparency of disclosing professional fees: the DOJ is burying them. Go figure. We have that transparency now. Buyers work on affordability. No one buys a house - they buy a house payment. Q1: What happens when a Seller decides to move the cheese and change what they're offering for compensation based on someone's ethnicity or the car that rolls out front of their house? If I'm a Buyer and you're offering to pay X and someone else is a Buyer and you're willing to pay X+ or X-.... How is a sliding scale based on someone's mood transparent? Q2: Do you go to work and get paid a different rate based on your bosses mood of the day? If you had to call your boss and ask what today's rate was before going into that job or your 2nd or 3rd job to see which one was paying better that day (no matter how much work you did) and then tell your spouse/kids... PS Name another industry that when you do a great job for your Client you get paid less money by saving them money.

I’m so glad you are here to explain things to me. Feel free to unfollow. I’ll be here stating what I know to be fact.

Yes you can and that is exactly what I did recently. This is what buyers should always do until/unless they have full confidence in their agent and know they are comfortable working with them for a longer term. I wouldn't even do it then....don't limit yourself. Sign a buyer's agreement for each house your buyer's agent takes you to see. You may have a reason to work with multiple buyer's agents if you want "specialists" in different neighborhoods or areas or for many other reasons.

Only Democrats can go to the DNC but I sure hope Democrats see my video too!
