Breaking Down the NAR Settlement

The recent National Association of Realtors settlement comes at a critical time for the housing industry, as startups continue to try to shake up the status quo and housing affordability remains at crisis levels. In this episode, Jonathan & Jeremy break down the outcome of the settlement and discuss what it means for every person involved in a home sale – from lenders and appraisers, to buyers and sellers, and of course for the realtors whose livelihoods have long depended upon that 3% commission. Jeremy points out in many ways, the powerful realtors association brought this on itself - it had resisted innovations like flat-fee brokers for years. But, if you think the settlement will make it easier for discount brokers to break into the housing game, you'll want to hear what Jonathan has to say about "Lawless kickbacks" and more. For housing insiders who need to understand the implications of the settlement, this episode is for you.
