The National Association of Realtors changed home buying rules and they've been in effect about a month. Home buyers will now have a new conversation with their realtor when they go to buy a home. The realtor will need to negotiate a fee with the buyer. Previously it was in the background as the deal went forward with a typical 6% commission split between buyer's agent and seller's agent. Now, that's all changed and is highly negotiable.

Angelo DePaola has seen this coming. It's no surprise. He thinks it will make the best realtors stand out even more and the "hobbiest" realtors who sell homes as a side-hustle slowly go away. We discuss how he now has to give extra effort at defining his value to home buyers and what it means for realtors going forward.
