I am lucky; my parents are doing well, and I often see and talk with them. I love discussing stuff with my father. With 8-plus decades of life experience, my father truly enjoys discussing current topics.
My dad and I recently discussed the NAR commission settlement. Besides thinking they have once again let the industry down, we both think it was a complete disaster and that they are relying upon you guys, "the professionals in the room!"
Speaking of the professionals in the room, who are these people? I will tell you that the professionals in the room are not the "average Realtor," making a median gross income of $56,400. Trust me when I tell you that the "hobbyists" will slowly move out of the way, and it will be you guys, the real professionals in the room, gutting it out as usual.
It will be interesting to see how the industry develops. Nothing should stop the best broker/agent from helping consumers negotiate the critical process of buying and selling homes. It has always been the real professionals in the room making the difference for homebuyers and sellers. Even in new terrain- you guys will adjust and provide quality care and service.
Besides that, I hope all is well with AR and its members- YOU GUYS! As for me... I am a "hobbyist" activerain member walking on broken glass.
