Dishin' Dirt on FINALLY the MLS Strikes Back!
7/11/2024
Finally, the MLSs strike back on the ridiculous settlement rules! Today we examine four different MLSs across the country that have decided to give the big middle finger to Michael Ketchmark and the settlement requirements. These MLSs are doing what is right and best for the consumer to ensure transparency and fairness to all buyers, sellers and agents.
Also hear the brilliant constitutional arguments against the DOJ actions. If paying compensation is not a violation of anti-trust law, then how is the advertising of such compensation a violation of anti-trust. Insane stuff!

Dishin' Dirt on Another South Carolina Commission Lawsuit and a Dumb Title Insurance Idea
4/25/2024
As if almost on cue, another real estate agent commission lawsuit dropped last week. This time it was filed against 50 to 60 mainly local South Carolina agencies. Notably missing this time were the large brokerage that settled their lawsuits with the Sitzer/Burnette plaintiffs. What does this mean for the market?
Also, there is bi-partisan opposition to a bizarre title insurance proposal where Fannie Mae would assume the title risk in place of title insurance companies. It is truly preposterous. Learn if it would affect your closings.

Dishin' Dirt on Talking to the Seller about the NAR Settlement
4/10/2024
A lot of you have asked how you should discuss the NAR settlement with your Seller.
Today I discuss some of the main points you want to emphasize to your seller about how the settlement did not change the law nor did it prohibit a seller from paying a buyer commission.
I also discuss what the law suit was really about and what it was intended to change. Spoiler alert, I think it accomplished that intent. Of course, it will come with a lot of collateral damage.

Dishin' Dirt on Is this the Agent's Answer to the NAR Settlement? Maybe a Positive.
3/26/2024
It all is doom and gloom since the NAR settlement. But is there another side that is possibly a positive for agents?
No one really knows how this will play out. Not even the so-called experts. However, are we to believe that NAR has not already thought out what happens next. I can't believe that one of the nation's largest trade organization has not thought this through before agreeing to paying $418 million.
Today, Kevin Fields joins me what a positive view of how the settlement may play out. See what he thinks could actually be seen as a strong change for good agents.

BREAKING: Dishin' Dirt on the NAR Settlement and its Impact on You
3/20/2024
As you probably know by now the National Association of REALTORs settled the Sitzer/Burnette Case last week for $418 million dollars. But the bigger cost may be the concessions that NAR made in order to settle including a new rule prohibiting the agent from listing a co-op fee on the MLS.
Today I discuss the settlement as well as the ramifications. Spoiler alert. It isn't pretty.

Dishin' Dirt on You Can't Half-A** the Buyer Agency Contract
3/14/2024
In light of the monumental verdict in the Sitzer/Burnette case Buyer Agency Contracts are more important than ever. You can no longer half-a** these agreements. You should take extra care to demonstrate your knowledge and to fully explain not only your duties and obligations but also those of the buyer/client.
In today's podcast I cover the do's and don't of the Buyer Agency Contract as a result of Sitzer.
