The long-anticipated, much-debated FARE Act is officially in effect as of June 11—and with it comes a significant shift in how renters, landlords, and agents define value, representation, and advocacy.

In this episode, we explore a central question: did the role of the real estate agent just become less essential—or more? We unpack the ripple effects of the new law—from rising rents and restructured fees to disappearing inventory—and ask how agents can reframe their value proposition now that "access" is no longer the default pitch.

Back in the guest host chair is the sharp, funny, and ever-curious Jay Billiet of Jay J. Billiet Interior Design, bringing a fresh perspective—and hitting Eirik with some seriously probing questions—as we navigate the new normal of NYC rentals.

Filmed at Brown Harris Stevens' Studio 1873, Part of the Mastery of Real Estate (MORE) Network.
