💰 Big News in Real Estate! 💼 The DOJ and National Association of Realtors just settled a $418M antitrust lawsuit—and it’s shaking up the industry! So, what does this mean for buyers, sellers, and agents? 👉 For Buyers Agents: You’ll need to sharpen your negotiation skills as sellers are no longer required to pay your commission. 👉 For Buyers: Be prepared to negotiate your agent’s commission into the deal. The good news? You can often finance this into your mortgage—no need to pay out-of-pocket! 👉 For Sellers: Think about this—if your neighbor lists their home and offers a commission, and you don’t, which house will get shown first? Which house will sell first? The answer is clear: the one offering the commission! This settlement could change the game for everyone. What are your thoughts?

Yesterday @Adrian S. King and I made an offer on a three family and development opportunity in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. This was an off market deal that Adrian had sourced. We met with the seller’s agent to walk through the property and decided to make an offer for $1.1 million. The property has a ton of potential but needs work on the interior and exterior including cosmetic updates in the kitchen bathrooms, walls and ceilings throughout. Additionally, the front rear porches needed work and we would have to repaint or re-side the entire exterior. The additional upside was that the lot could be subdivided and developed, but it would require a variance. The play was going to be to renovate the existing three family and rent or sell as condos while we subdivide the lot and applied to build three more units directly next-door. The seller ended up accepting an offer for $1.2 million and I have no regrets. I’m sharing this with you to reinforce the importance of staying true to your model and not chasing deals. As one of my mentors told me early on, “The deal of the century comes around at least every six months as long as you’re looking for it.” Stay Blessed! P.S. - 🔥the photo below is of the rear porch at the property where one of the tenants had put a charcoal grill on the porch and nearly set the house on fire. Note to all of the Landlord out there. Don’t let your tenants grill on your back porch.
