Having just gone through the sale and purchase process...

On our purchase, we bought from one of the iBuyers.  They made it very clear that they were giving no concessions beyond adjusting to the appraised price (-6k).  With them holding as much inventory as they do in the market I bought in and their willingness to let us walk, Im guessing that number is going to be lower than 80%. 

On the sale side I have a hard time believing a buyers agent will leave their payout up in the air until Inspection Objection and Resolution when those concessions are negotiated - although Im guessing you're implying that it would be part of the initial offer but even that would leave it up to that final negotiation.  Its a hella risky game to play to count on it coming out of the sellers pocket.  I can absolutely see the sellers forking over some portion but at the end of the day I cant see why a buyers agent would sign with a client that didn't agree to the fact that they were ultimately responsible for their commission.

 

It does kinda blow my mind how many agents seem to be so determined to get paid by the seller as opposed to their client.

 

So the way it will work is buyers will sign off on being responsible for the payment of the commission.  If it can be negotiated as part of the purchase that would be the goal.  Again if a home has been sitting on market seller would be dumb not to agree.  What no one anywhere can answer for me is how as agents we can know for sure that the buyer has the ability to pay the fee after whatever closing costs and down payment they are responsible for as we don't get all of their financial info like lenders do.  Is the option to sue if they can't hold up their end of the buyers agreement that they sign?  Firms I've talked to have basically said well we don't want to worry about the possibility of that.  If you sue a client for commission I'm assuming you wouldn't be getting any repeat business.  If you're buying and selling maybe the agent says hey I'll rep you on the buy side with no guarantee of payment if you list with me.  Again the people that this effects the most is going to be first time home buyers.

And now buyers agents can  get paid by their clients as opposed to the party they are negotiating against.

They're still going to get paid out of the pot that goes to the seller in terms of concessions 80% of the time. If your home is tip top and priced right you may have a buyer willing to pay their agent but if it's on the market longer than a day that concession to the buyer is going to be part of most offers from buyers.

Not trying to be an asshole but I would say he is far less talented than Cam, Smitty, Peppers for sure.

I think he meant most talented rb

That Hurst signing was atrocious,  like just about everything else that happened on shitterers watch

really like what Charlotte FC is doing this year.  Hopefully, they keep this coach around for more than 1 year. 

He seems to be getting more out of players then latanzio did for sure.  The back line has been light years better this year.

The Rams also made a play for CMC when the 49ers did and yes, I am correct in terms of the records. SF was 3-3 when they got CMC and lost the first week he was on the team to be 3-4. They never lost again until the NFC Championship once CMC started and a week later Purdy started. The Rams lost to CMC/SF the first week CMC started to be 3-4 as well.

Stafford only started 9 games and was 3-6. While they were supposed to be better, they weren’t and after the Burns deal fell through they unraveled quickly as SF went on a 10 game regular season win streak. If it weren’t for a great draft, like Puca in the 5th and 2 8+ sack rookies, the Rams were an under .500 team in 2023 as well.

I agree with the whole 1) make that damn game changing trade, 2) if you don’t make the trade then he should have an extension already signed but 3) you are devaluing the pick values we were going to receive. For 3), the Rams were on the cusp of falling apart (Stafford was hurt in preseason and only played half the year) and our trade of CMC to SF was a dagger in their back and after that fallout and losing even more picks to us for Burns, the 2024/2025 Rams picks would have had more value IMHO than ours.

Doesn't matter anyway because we did everything wrong and became the worst team in the league in 2023 and maybe again the worst team in 2024, who knows.

The worst part about the three potential trades for our best players was the 2 we traded in cmc and Moore was those guys were already under large contracts.  So not only did we trade them below their value but we also ended up with dead cap space from the deals. We could have traded burns for 0 cap hit for more then we got for our 2 best offensive players and like 30 million in dead cap.

We have the smartest linebacker to ever do it at our disposal and we hire the right hand man to literally the worst gm I've ever seen. The guy who couldn't even successfully run a restaurant.  If Dan turns it around great, but from everything I've seen and heard since he took over he doesn't bring any skill set to the table as a GM. Just says we need Dawgs over and over. Really hope I'm wrong.

I'd do it again

There were about 60k people at fanfest in 2015

MJ paid him like a superstar while everyone knew he was/is a “glue guy”.

He was pretty damn good the season before he got paid.

Maybe you're right 15/6/6 the year before he got paid and the first year of his deal. 

Not the first or last to get a big bag and fall off a cliff

If he shits the bed early, let him play the rest of the season.  Let’s get that number 1 pick baby. 

This is the only correct answer.  Bryce needs to play the full season for better or worse.  The most awful decision would be putting in Dalton if we are 1-6. So that's probably what we will do.

Westbrook was only making 4mil a year and he signed with Denver for 3mil a year bad example.

 

 

I wouldn't pay a ham sandwich for him at this point. Maybe he was a bad example though.  Large market teams always have that one super shitty contract that prevents them from getting better though, then magically some small market team takes it on in like a 6 team trade and they're back in business.

That trade is a joke. First round swaps that would probably never convey and left over players. 

Yeah but poo like this fuging happens. Small teams bail larger market teams out all the time.  It makes no sense. Almost like they're required to do so. Just like the clippers being able to unload westbrick the other day.

Summer league games don’t count for much, but it sure is nice to see us wanting to win and playing with urgency vs. getting clobbered every summer.

Every time I can remember we've been getting butt fuged in summer league so I'll take it!

If England celebrated No longer dependent days they'd never work.  

Real question would you trade Melo for Steph? No clue how the money would work but lots of people are turning on Ball and Curry probably has 2 decent seasons left? Warriors are going to be a fringe playoff team next year and might be looking to start over.

Went to a Kia dealer this afternoon with the intention of test driving a used 2020 Sienna they supposedly had, but it was already sold. So we peeked at the Carnivals while we were there, but I thought they were even uglier in person. I don't see the SUV in disguise, I saw an uglier bulkier looking minivan. Interiors are nice though, it felt more like the Odyssey interior.

The minivan stock is really low right now, not trying to buy new but we might have to just to have some options. 

 

I haven't looked at them in person or even too much online. My wife swears they look like an SUV and much better then other minivans. Again I have no interest in an almost 40k purchase at 7% or whatever it is right now

Been an SUV person my whole driving life. But with kiddos I'm pretty close to getting a minivan for the sliding doors and extra space/comfort. The features you get with the minivans are way higher than the SUVs for similar prices from what I can see. I've test driven the Honda Odyssey, Toyota Sienna, Chrysler Pacifica, Honda Pilot, and Toyota Highlander. I read that the Kia Carnival is supposed to be nice but I #1 can't bring myself to consider a Kia and I think they're butt ugly. 

If you ended up with a specific SUV or minivan, why and what do you like about it?

My wife actuality actually wants the carnival specifically bc of the looks.  I really just want to hold on to our  2.7% cars that are almost paid off.  Putting my daughter into my compact suv nearly breaks my back but our traverse isn't too bad. 

People wanted to pay him 200 million dollars. That was one of the few things mj actually got right.  And it was only because he was a cheap ass.

This was the draft to pull a Spurs and trade towards the future. Instead we take the longest of long shots and a guy that couldn't possibly make any meaningful impact for at least 3 years. 

Ghost of Jordan still haunting the place. 

Should have just taken a guy like Dalton that could actually play a role on the team immediately.

Oh well, Bobnets gonna Bobnet.

Ummmmmm its Horncats. Imagine having two choices and picking so terribly wrong. You picked Bryce Young over Stroud with your nickname choice

Couple of good signings and they are in the mix. Defense is so good. Malanda is premier league talent 

Sucks that we will not be able to keep my favorite players but that's the way soccer works.  Meanwhile guys I loathe keep getting replaced so that's the positive I'm taking

Sure is nice to have a team in Charlotte with a quality coach. Team could really be special with two more DP’s.

Sucks that we will lose big pat soon. I'm a homer but think he has national team talent
