🎧In Episode 35 of the Home Design Podcast we sit down with David Serle, the President of Broward, Palm Beach & St Lucie Realtors for an exclusive insider's look into the real estate industry.

In this episode, we're peeling back the layers to uncover the latest trends, strategies, and insights shaping the global real estate landscape. 🌍 From innovative approaches to buying and selling properties to navigating the complexities of international markets, David shares his expertise to help you stay ahead in the game.

A realtor not only helps with the process of buying and selling homes. The relationship with a realtor starts before the transaction. A professional realtor will help guide their clients to make the best decisions possible based on the knowledge that they have with an area, type of home, and general market conditions. A realtor is a lifelong resource for all things home.

What is the NAR Settlement? There is no standard 6% of commission for realtors. Commissions have always been a negotiated number to help with deals and to close them as effectively as possible in favor of their clients. The settlement was a $418million settlement that the NAR must pay over the next four years. A buyer written agreement is now required for any purchase of real estate today. This has increased the level of transparency than what we have seen over the past years. A buyer may have to be able to be represented and sellers will continue to pay to be represented. The biggest change in real estate transactions is that all buyers and sellers will have actual written agreements with their relationship with their representing realtor.

In this episode you will learn about all aspects of real estate transactions, how to hire a realtor, the questions that you should know to ask, and the value of purchasing a home.

Whether you're a seasoned real estate professional or just a home owner, this episode is a must-listen!

Meet the Interstones team! Adalberto Ganzarolli, Jimmy Khalifeh, and Hernan Levy are here discuss the history behind Interstones, what to know about natural stones, and the difference between iStone and other synthetic products.

What is the latest TREND in the stone industry? The personal connection with the stone is the key to understanding what is trending. Stones are unique, whether we are talking about precious stones or countertops. They all carry a different energy and feeling that offers us a different energy and feeling. The crystal has the most amount of energy possible. The condition of the world and what is happening in the environment around us has a great influence on the colors that we select. Some colors offer a more calming feel, others influence focus, as some represent recovery or help increase our energy. People wanted life and greenery in their homes, so green stones have became popular. Due to the spiritual connection, all natural colors have become more popular. Since blue is the color of hope, it has grown in popularity and is now one of the most popular color trends in the industry.
