lol feels like this never would have happened if they were unionized.

Seems to mean that instead of all agents requesting the same fees, there might be more variety in the future.

Honestly great news. I’ve bought 5 houses, EVERY single one of those I found myself, half of the realtors I’ve ever interacted with are more sales people than they are actual sources of information about houses or the contracts.

I don’t think they should be working for free, but 6% commission when houses average $500k is ridiculous. The services don’t match the price paid. Especially for the higher priced houses. There is no incentive for the buyer realtor to do anything other than close the deal as quickly as possible.

This industry should be disrupted, too many hands in the pot all along the way during the process.

I joined TCS just 2.5months back and unfortunately my hr informed me that my bgc is negative. The reason is I didn't show them the past experience of 2 companies in which i was for a very short period time, and those 2 companies were MNC's. I have given them genuine reason that why i didn't mention it in my resume and also have given the experience letter of those 2 companies as a proof to TCS. Will they still ask me to resign?

Anyway I protect myself against the downside risk? (other than loosing my down payment)

Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.
