Dishin' Dirt on Disclosing Referral Fees and Required NAR Membership for MLS Access
The National Association of REALTORs was in the news last week concerning two policies. One was changed and the other was upheld.
First, NAR voted to end the requirement of NAR membership to gain access to REALTOR owned MLSs. This is a great policy change but did the change go far enough?
Secondly, NAR failed to approve the required disclosure of referral fees in a real estate transaction. This is a very bad look for the Association especially when you hear the amount of support in the Association for the change.

Dishin' Dirt on Why One Statewide Brokerage Stopped Doing Broker to Broker Comp and How Its Agents Couldn't be Happier!
I have been saying since the settlement that broker-to-broker compensation is a broken model. Tony Nalley of ERA Wilder Realty joins me today to discuss how they moved away from broker-to-broker compensation. Tony tells us why they made the move, how it was rolled out to the agents and how it has been a positive for the brokerage's agents and clients.
Hopefully, other brokers will hear Tony and ERA's experience and consider making the same move!

Dishin' Dirt on Wall Street Journal Compares REALTORs to Drug Cartels!!! Plus the Re/Max and Anywhere Settlements.
This week begins the Sitzer/Burnette trial on cooperative commissions. Just in time for the trial, the Wall Street Journal, formerly a pro-business, pro-capitalism, and free-market newspaper, published a pathetic hit piece comparing REALTORs to cartels. Why stop there? Why not add Nazi and fascists? If you are going to use inflammatory language why not use the trifecta?
This ridiculous article demonstrates that the Plaintiffs and mainstream media have no idea what you all do for a living or how the system works for the protection of the parties. They certainly don't know or perhaps don't care how this will affect homebuying negatively in the future.
Today, I break down the WSJ article as well as the RE/Max and Anywhere settlements.

Dishin' Dirt on Can You Post Pictures of Another Agent's Listing on Your Social Media?
Is it illegal for a real estate agent to post a picture of your listing on social media asking potential buyers to contact them to see it? Can you do this legally if you simply provide information about the listing agent? Does the MLS agreement allowing brokers to share the IDX feed affect this argument?
In today's episode I will argue both sides of the issue including offering a few other examples that are also questioned.

Dishin' Dirt on Is This the End of MV Realty and the 40-year Listing Agreement
Many, if not all of you, are familiar with MV Realty's "Homeowner Benefit Program" that pays the homeowners a small sum of cash in exchange for what amounts to a 40-year lien on the property. This lien requires the homeowner and all future owners to use MV Realty as the listing agent for the entire 40-year term and contains stiff penalties for failing to do so. Luckily, these may be coming to the end as MV Realty made a huge move that may spell the end of this arrangement.

Dishin' Dirt on Will the DOJ End Clear Cooperation and Co-op Commissions for Buyer Agents?
This may very well be the most important Dishin' Dirt ever.
Real estate agents are under attack by plaintiff lawyers and the Department of (In)Justice. Both are attacking the way you are paid commissions as well as the clear cooperation rule that prohibits brokerage from hiding listings from other agencies. If successful, this could be disastrous for the industry. It could price buyers out of the market as well as allow big agencies to hide listings from anyone but their agents.
Jeff Wheeler joins me today to discuss the state of multiple cases against our industry that could absolutely change the face of real estate forever!

Dishin' Dirt on Why Mortgage Planning is a Must in this Market
Mortgage lending is changing every day. Interest rates are vastly different than just a few months ago. As rates change mortgage planning has became a necessary component of lending. In the past all that mattered was how low the interest rate was. But today, the best mortgage product is not just the lowest interest rate. Length of term, MIP, down-payment, loan costs all have to be considered. Today you need a mortgage planner to walk your client through what their needs are and to be an advocate for them in the transaction. Bill Oliver of Cardinal Mortgage joins Dishin' Dirt to discuss how mortgage planning works.

Dishin' Dirt on Accepting and Paying Agent Incentives. Should the Industry Finally Stop Commission Steering?
Builder and seller agent incentives are a big problem in our industry today. Should the agent get an incentive simply to show a house or should that incentive go to the buyer? Don't you have a fiduciary duty to do what is in the client's best interest? How is it in the client's best interest for you to get a bonus for steering them to a house? Doesn't sound too client centric to me!
Today, I will discuss the complexities surrounding builder and seller bonuses and incentives in real estate, particularly in light of the Sitzer Burnett case. I will explore the ethical implications of commission steering, the fiduciary duties of agents, and the legal truths that govern real estate compensation. The conversation will emphasize the importance of prioritizing client interests over personal financial gain, and I will discuss the potential legal repercussions of accepting bonuses from sellers.

Dishin' Dirt on Personal Stories Sell Real Estate. Nobody Cares Where You Rank!
Personal injury lawyers are master marketers. They know that clients don't care that the law firm is the biggest or number one in the area. What clients want to hear about are personal stories. They want to hear about people that are just like them being helped by the lawyer.
Real estate agents should use the same techniques with real estate consumers. The consumer does not care if you are "Number 1 in Elgin" or the Number 1 Team. They want to hear real stories about how you helped people just like them.
Serial entrepreneur and personal Injury lawyer, Hamid Kohan, from Los Angles explains how real estate agents could learn from lawyer advertising. He also discusses technology, and a host of other big topics.

The number of times agents interfere with the agency agreement of another agent seems to be getting out of hand. Not only does it violate state law but also the REALTOR Code of Ethics.
In this important episode I examine what is meant by interfering with agency and discuss how many agents interfere while believing they are acting proper. Not only do you need to listen to this podcast, you need to share it to all agents so we can stop this epidemic.

Dishin' Dirt on Update on Closing Issues including Multiple Offers, Appraisal Gaps and more!
This week is law update week. With the summer finally showing some signs of life, I wanted to revisit multiple offers and the appraisal gap language. Both of these issues are being misstated by a lot of agents.
Additionally, I am going to address the question of assisting another agent with their client when you work for a different broker *(think open houses) as well as marketing another agent's listings on your social media.
All of these issues are hot topics that agents tend to misunderstand.
