Good morning to everyone except real estate agents who list their regular, top-floor listings as “penthouses”

Great leaders don’t chase what’s best for them. They build what’s best for their people.

Clemson fans have some nerve booing a non-PI call after a literal touchdown was overturned by a bad review. #LSUvsCLEM

Handling Objections: “We’re talking with other real estate agents.”

Since the mortgage rate shock occurred in 2022, the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate has mostly stayed in the 6.50% to 7.50% range Right now, we're at the low end of that band Data via @mortgagenewsmnd

@ericwu01 @sharran @ByronLazine Your move @Opendoor @rabois @ianwong

Fine - I’ll even be your President, as long as you bring @ericwu01 back as CEO. I’m probably one of the few people left who enjoys San Francisco. *Would like @sharran & @ByronLazine on the board though if I’m involved.

4. Monetize the ancillary on the referrals (#2). Partners KPI’d by intro’ing the client to title/escrow/mortgage/insurance (within RESPA). 4/🧵

3. Fix the branding problem. Let’s be real: sellers think Opendoor = getting ripped off. Buyers think Opendoor = “Are they hiding something?” Add transparency (inspection reports, pricing breakdowns). More like CarMax for homes instead of a hedge fund buying your house. 3/🧵

2. Stop missing out on the FLEX style opportunity. Most people that request a cash offer don’t do anything, why not tee up agent partners for a 40-50% referral fee. 2/🧵

Fix Opendoor: 1. Double down on Mortgage. Subsidize “portable mortgages” somehow, thereby allowing homeowners to bring their 2.9% with them, and write an equity second to bridge the gap. And/or figure out conventional assumptions. 1/🧵

If you were going to FSBO your own home, what would you consider the most important step to the process?

Went deep with the @nowbammedia crew about email newsletters for agents (and lenders). https://t.co/Wk7Z3l5q9Z @TheBrokeAgent and @JCassity were amazing hosts, and they even ended up taking a few notes! The Email Blueprint for Agents: How Often, What to Send, and What Works

Insane comments by Redfin CEO on what the “real issue might be” for homebuyers… “We've talked to so many homebuyers who say they're going to wait to see what happens in this election.” No, it couldn’t be the most rapid interest rate increase we’ve seen in decades..
