The conversation then shifts to the new rules implemented by the NAR regarding advertising commissions on the MLS. They discuss the impact of these rules on the real estate market and the challenges it presents for agents. They also touch on the current state of the market and the unpredictability of buyer activity. The conversation covers various topics including negotiating commissions in real estate transactions, the complexity of listing agreements, and the challenges of navigating buyer's agent commissions. They also discuss the acquisition of popular restaurant chains by larger franchises. In terms of the real estate market, they mention the increasing inventory and the potential impact of the upcoming school season on home sales. keywordsparties, celebrations, college, future plans, NAR rules, advertising commissions, real estate market, buyer activity, real estate, commissions, listing agreements, buyer's agent, restaurant chains, inventory, home sales takeaways
