  1. If that's the difference on making an extra $50k on the house AND getting it sold in a reasonable amount of time with minimal effort on your part? Then yes, it's probably worth it.
  2. There's nothing wrong with interviewing agents and asking what they provide for their fee. Negotiate from there. Our last house sale many years ago, the agent we used suggested what we thought was a ridiculous listing price - much higher than anything the neighborhood had seen before (and our home was definitely not the largest or feature-rich). We thought we had a good idea of what the neighborhood and house layout would take based on our own comp analysis, but we definitely were wrong in hindsight. Not only did we get offers at that price within 6 hours of the house being listed, there was a week-long minor bidding war that the agent handled all the calls on. We were amazed it hit that price point, and if we had gone the FSBO or cheaper agent route (yes, we had talks with other agents before selecting the one we did) instead of listening to our agent, we definitely would have left $ on the table. a good agent is motivated to get the highest price they can for a sale. Or you could go with an agent that just wants to push through as many homes as possible because their lower fee requires volume over quality. Both can work for you - depends what you're trying to achieve.
  3. Just because it's digital doesn't mean there's lower cost. There's lighting, minor photoshopping, proper captioning, etc Check out https://terriblerealestateagentphotos.com/ for reasons why good photos are important -- especially at higher price points. A lower-priced home may not have the luxury of being able to afford higher-quality photo experiences, especially if professional photos are not included in the agent's fees.
  4. Just asking: Caesars had the #2 pick listed higher on their setup vs the #1 pick which you had to scroll to. Thought tthat was weird, but curious if it's the same scenario here
  5. YouTube will have a multi-view, allowing you to watch up to four games on one screen at the same time. Also, you can view a max of two screens (vs DirecTV with 4)
  6. Some agents purposefully advertise lower fees, to attract cost-minded sellers. But the drawback is they may not do as much "free" work vs those who charge a higher percent. They may charge extra for each legal contract that gets drawn up, for example. Or extra for photos. Often included in the fees would be handling all the legal work, managing the appointments, interacting/marketing with other agents who they know may have potential buyers, taking professional photos, and getting listed in MLS in a timely manner. There's a lot of behind-the-scenes activities that are not always obvious to the home seller interested in FSBO actions. At higher home price points, the customer market is usually smaller, so it requires even more delicate advertising/promotional knowledge and activities. I've been told that Open Houses are usually not a good thing to have your realtor spend their time on. It's usually a sign that something may be unusual about that home that is preventing an easy sale. Those with actual real estate experience on the Huddle can chime in/correct this particular point in case it's wrong. Quality photos are KEY. They can *really* showcase a house well vs photos you may take yourself. When we last sold a home, the pro photos were incredible (we were amazed how nice the house looked, and we had lived in it) Other advice a real estate professional earns their $ on is helping stage a home for viewing. Advising on what can be kept out vs needs to be put in storage/away. The cleaner a house looks, the better. "Move In Ready" is often a misnomer --- unless it's sparkly obvious.
  7. Again, I think most of us will be pretty happy with any of the names being mentioned as top contenders. that it’s still up in the air as opposed to an obvious selection is fantastic. Gives us options.
  8. Yup, that'd be my initial guess. If the only thing the Power Supply is powering is the motherboard, the CPU and the CPU Fan and you're still getting a click --- then try a different (and decent) power supply swap, see if that helps
  9. If you're local in the market, no. You get the games OTA or via local cable partner. (Typically in Charlotte, I believe it's WSOC that is the local broadcast partner for TNF or MNF games) If you're out of market, then MNF is on ESPN (nationally available) and TNF is on Amazon/NFLN (both nationally available) If your cable package includes ESPN and NFLN, then you should be covered for most MNF and NFLN games. I agree --- out-of-town fans are screwed over in terms of easy access to watch the Panthers. It costs us more to travel/hotel/eat/tickets vs local ticket holders. It costs us more to watch the games on TV --- unless the team gets more national coverage, in which case we're more often showcased. It's even harder for those in NFC South markets, as local FOX broadcasts are typically going to be the local NFC South team rather than the Panthers.
  10. Confirmed :: YouTube TV says you will still be able to order the NFL RedZone by purchasing Sports Plus for the monthly fee.
  11. Thursday Games are on Amazon Prime + NFLN, available nationally. For those in the local markets, available OTA or via local cable outlet.
  12. Not in any of the news I've read. all the a la carte stuff was on wishlists -- and part of the reason Apple didnt' get the deal.
  13. They did not. The Twitter is full of Crying Spongebob graphics related to this aspect
  14. Doesn't look like it, per the NFL press release (which that article references) Sounds like the new "EverPass Media" is going to be the Commercial side of Sunday Ticket distribution, with YouTube being the Consumer side. ...which will hold the exclusive rights to distribute NFL Sunday Ticket to bars, restaurants, hotels and other commercial venues in the United States starting with the 2023 NFL season. To me, the interesting piece was this: Going forward, the service will be available on a non-exclusive basis through all participating cable and satellite providers.
  15. The NFL dictates the terms of the package requiring the full slate of games. Main thing is they don't want to impact the network packages. Yeah, I'd love a team package too, but its still less expensive than buying food/drinks at the bar for the games that aren't carried locally Which makes me wonder, since Dallas is almost always broadcast nationally, those fans must be saving a ton of Sunday Ticket money
  16. which is why DirecTV is still (was?) negotiating their own Business/Bar package. Partly as bars may not want to invest in reworking their AV systems to handle All Streaming
  17. Prices start at $349/season, with $100 discounts if you you sign up before June 6th. (Basically, there are prices WITH RedZone, and WITHOUT RedZone -- and prices WITH YouTubeTV and Without) It'll be $100 less per season if you have YouTube TV. For someone without YouTube TV and interested in RedZone, you'll be paying $449/season source: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/11/youtube-tv-nfl-sunday-ticket-subscription-pricing.html
  18. Like I said earlier, all depends what @Squirrelis trying to accomplish with a smart home setup.
  19. you're probably not wrong. I WANT to watch Inside the NFL. the NFL FILMS highlights are fantastic. Paramount+ version of the show stopped adding any additional value.
  20. Another thing I hated about the Paramount+ version of Inside the NFL: no ability to go back and watch (or rewatch) previous episodes. Maybe it was just me, but it seemed they pulled the previous episode(s) each week when a new one rolled out. Plus their REW/FF interface is just clunky compared to other streaming services, so it was harder to zip through to watch the one Panthers comment they might have thrown in. (And yet the ESPN+ sunday night NFL recap show with Berman has even WORSE streaming controls. Yeesh. But at least ESPN gives the Panthers a reasonable amount of game recap. Usually)
  21. Don't forget, ROKU is airing a lot of older/canceled HBO shows **for free, with commercials** starting soon (if not today). Westworld, The Nevers (which turned super freaky on its premise later, oh my), and others.
  22. Hated the Showtime version of only having CBS announcers. Liked HBOs idea of using announcers from all networks joining in. Why not bring in more former players instead and rotate em. Smitty would be worthwhile. Others could be, too.
  23. They want to partner/license with someone for their massive content rather than present it themselves They have the nfl network already, but want others to pay in. And I'm okay with this. Spread the love around
