    A federal jury ruled on Tuesday that the powerful National Association of Realtors and several large brokerages had conspired to artificially inflate the commissions paid to real estate agents, a decision that could radically alter the home-buying process in the United States.

    The realtors’ group and brokerages were ordered to pay damages of nearly $1.8 billion. The verdict allows the court to issue treble damages, which means they could swell to more than $5 billion.

    But under the verdict, the sellers would no longer be required to pay their buyers’ agents, and agents would be free to set their own commission rates, which could be slashed in half or less. For example, a home seller with a $1 million home can now pay as much as $60,000 in agent commissions — $30,000 to their agent and $30,000 to the buyers’ agent.

     

     

    Any thoughts from our resident agents?

     

    Sounds good for sellers - why am I paying a buyers agent that's working against my best interests?

    Any bets that Belichick gets fired in NE and McDaniels ends up as HC? 

    When the day comes that Belichick is no longer on the sidelines in Foxborough you can bet he is going to be allowed to retire gracefully.  He has earned at least that much.

  3. I keep buying platters when I build but its a cost per GB calculation rather than a reliability issue.

    For stuff like business docs and pictures that I dont care if it takes a couple of 10ths of a second to load, I put them on the platters.

    For the OS, games and files where access speeds could impact usage/enjoyment I have SSDs

     

     

    I think early generations of SSDs failed at higher rates.  Something about the reads & writes destroying the drive slowly.

    He should have stayed down like he was hurt and he would have gotten the call.  Needs to watch more professional soccer to get the hang of it.  

    If he had done that instead of a thread wondering if the hit was late we would have six about how Bryce is too small and frail
