We closed our closing department to avoid drama, but it found Andrew on TV when he explained how prioritizing those convicted of marijuana offenses in granting retail licensing is reverse discrimination. 

Beyond discussing war in Ukraine, nuclear power plant seizures,  the State of the Union, and what happens at the bus stop, we dive deep into the good intentions of legislators to stop housing discrimination. Yet,  how they are going about doing so will cripple the brokerage industry while leaving chaos in its wake. We can't ignore how industry is changing before us just because the world is overwhelming. We breakdown the flaws in the law, as written, it's impossible timing, the infrastructure challenges and how it will lead to more discrimination rather than less.

Andrew does his best to clarify where the world stands with Russia & Ukraine while updating everyone on  pending legislation. We discuss Biden's Supreme Court pick, the future of electronic real estate closings, updates in real estate required education, and a new law to help mortgage borrowers who are delinquent on their loans.
