So what I got out of all this is that I need an "experienced" agent to help me purchase a property but I need a lawyer to help me understand the contract that I will be required to sign with the agent. This again is why Real Estate has become a train wreck.

Everyone needs to take a chill pill. This is the way it should be done in the first place. If I pay $2,000 up front for Services from a Broker and we end up closing a deal whereby the Broker was to receive a $25,000 Commission on the deal, then at Closing.....The Final Closing Statement would show a NET AMOUNT OWED to the Broker of $23,000. The payment up front is called Legal 'Consideration' and solidifies the RE Contract! If you do NOT find a deal, you paid $2,000 for services rendered! It is a Retainment Fee. PERIOD.

The honesty is why I'll be contracting with Robyn soon. Even if I don't buy an MLS home, just having the knowledge and experience will be worth it.

Not to be intentionally insulting, but real estate agents have been the most overpaid bunch of people in history. People with high school diplomas and a six week real estate course making six figures is absurd. And it is horribly unfair to people that have trained hard for essential work like teaching. Anyone who thinks a real estate agent ought to be making more, much less considerably more, than a teacher really needs medication. And it has gone on unchecked for far too long.

Excellent presentation Robyn. Thank you.

Great stuff Robyn, love you girl. 5:33

Hi Robyn, just for absolute clarity on a point you mentioned, if I hired you as my buyers realtor, and we don’t find a home I want to buy, do I still owe you a fee? Also, if I find a home through another broker (like TV ALS broker (I.e. new home), would I still owe you a fee? Thanks again.

Robyn, are the buyer’s agent fees a set fee or a percentage? Thanks!

Robyn please don’t take this personal but any buyer is crazy to sign any contract with a buyers agent. The wealth of information on the internet makes it so easy to determine fair price as well as finding inventory. Dealing directly with listing agents will be the wave of the future.

I have been watching Fla.real estate agents lately and the message I am getting is to wait till things level out. -too much volatility

I was under the impression that the Justice Dept has stated that there will be absolutely no mention of buyer's broker compensation in the offer form, otherwise it is right back to pre-settlement status quo more or less. Per media release, "Equipped with renewed investigative authority, the DOJ will likely seek to compel a complete separation of compensation for buyers’ agents and sellers’ agents." And "As part of NAR’s settlement last month, agents won’t be able to put compensation offers on multiple listing services. But the agreement includes workarounds for brokers to continue to make offers of compensation to buyers’ agents outside the listings. These loopholes in the settlement could maintain steering incentives and raise red flags for the DOJ . . . The DOJ is not likely to view those proposed changes as enough to restore an efficient competitive marketplace." And from June 29th: "The Department of Justice is keeping a sharp eye on the industry as the August 17 deadline for settlement-mandated practice changes draws closer. " "The National Association of Realtors on Friday shared a warning to members looking for "loopholes" or "work arounds" to its commissions lawsuit settlement agreement: The Department of Justice is watching." And "the DOJ seems particularly focused on whether form agreements are tools for that," NAR President Kevin Sears said to members in an update posted Friday in the Realtor Hub, an online forum for its members." IMO after August 17 you will no longer be able to make any mention at all of buyer's broker compensation in the compensation agreement. Basically, the seller will be responsible for the commission paid to their listing agent and the buyer will be separately 100% responsible for paying their buyer's agent if they choose to work with one. Any attempt to start to blend these commissions back together and dump them both back on the seller will likely be viewed unfavorably and blocked in court by DOJ.

For a buyer, this all sounds way too confusing.

Hi! So as a buyer, if I found the house I wanted through an open house or Zillow, etc, could I negotiate a lower price/fee with the buyer's agent since they wouldn't have to drive me around looking at a bunch of houses? Thanks

I just got out of beauty school and I’m the best hair chopper out there.

You’re getting the “Robyn” experience

The point of the lawsuit was to stop double dipping. If listing agents start charging interested buyers to look at at their listing and write up your contract, most likely there will be another lawsuit.

Who is on your team these days and why don't they want to be a KZfaq star like you? 😊

Is there a video tour of this house?

Question please. What direction of the house is the most popular? Second best and why? Please

Back in 2022 when btc was at its cycle low, people where saying btc is done for it's going below $15k US it's going to zero. Well it's down 10% from mid March ath 2024 and now everyone is shitting themselves. That doesn't make any logical sense especially for crypto.Its just a shake out phase, chill people go zoom out at old charts. We are at around 1.4 trillion market cap and only growing, just wait and see the price next year in March it will double....I've been engaged in active trading and managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.3Bitcoin to a decent 24Bitcoin....I'm especially grateful to Evelyn Infurna, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

Can i install a fence for my service dog? This video is 2 years old. What are the prices like now in July,2024?

Miranda is an excellent deal. It looks fantastic and even looks like it's got room for a pool. Many people though have a problem visualizing. A little staging can help with that. Even maybe get the photos virtually staged. 🎉

Congrats 👏

This was a good one, right on point. My 2 takeaways were passing on the Home Warranty to the buyer and a pre-listing home inspection. Good stuff, thanks for the work.

I'm a Kentucky lotto winner

Let's do dinner discuss me selling in Brooksville ridge Manor and buying off u

great video! Seems a lot of sellers are still expecting the elevated covid price for their homes! Your videos will hopefully get them to see reality!

Thanks Robyn❤. The market is cooling off here in West Palm Beach. Several neighbors of mine have their homes listed however two said they haven’t gotten ANY showings in over a month. 😳

If I rent in Florida for six months and a day, am i considered a Florida resident

Awesome video. Learned a whole bunch. Thank you for all the tips.

Great ideas. When selling or renting a home, I do inexpensive, cosmetic updates: new sink, faucets, cabinet handles, nice switchplates. Lighting and ceiling fans. Decent flooring if needed. A good quality peel and stick backsplash (stone or composite) looks great. Paint walls in neutral colors. Plug in wall aromatherapy units scent nicely.

Great tips! Very informative! And love the music at the end!!!

Very informative video for sellers. I always wondered what "certified" home was. It sounded special and here it was a home warranty....effective! You provided a lot of info In just a few minutes. Loved it!

Great video Robyn. I agree with everything you said. Clean sells. I would say a fresh coat of neutral color paint makes everything look good. Fix what's broken so it passes inspection. And I agree if it's still not moving, a bit of staging may do the trick.

Great advice Robyn!!

Good stuff for people selling I places other than the Villages

Happy Sunday! Great budget friendly advice. Yup! You're the realtor girl one needs.

Sage advice. I like your videos Robyn. You're the girl!

No shitty Chevys
