This week Reed and Katie dive into the main topic of recent discussion in Real Estate circles... the proposed $418 Million settlement between the National Association of REALTORS and Home Sellers. Joining the pod is Ventura County Coastal Association of REALTORS President, and Owner/Broker of Realty One Group Summit, Cami Pinsak who lends her expertise on all aspects of the proposed settlement for our listeners. After much discussion, the consensus is that while of course these uncharted times present unique challenges, there is plenty of opportunity for enterprising agents to actually grow their business and position themselves for success in this potential new world! Then they all of course end the show with their Action Items, simple things any REALTOR can do to help grow their business.
