Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Your Fiduciary Duty Does NOT Mean Do Whatever the Seller Wants — The Fair Housing Line SC Agents Can't Cross
Q: How should brokers handle the tension between seller direction and fair housing requirements?
Educate the seller with solid data, maintain neutrality, and avoid suggesting exclusive routes as a default; promote transparent exposure to all qualified buyers.
Your Fiduciary Duty Does NOT Mean Do Whatever the Seller Wants — The Fair Housing Line SC Agents Can't Cross
Q: What is your stance on the idea that a broker's fiduciary duty to a seller can justify limiting who sees or bids on a home?
I'm not an attorney, but fiduciary duty isn't a license to limit access. You must balance seller interests with broad access to ensure fair housing and avoid restricting market participation.
How to Win Listings and Get Paid Without Broker-to-Broker Comp | Reah Smith's Playbook
Q: What is the biggest misunderstanding that listing agents have when using the Seller Direct Listing Agreement?
The biggest misunderstanding is that listing agents still operate under broker-to-broker norms, failing to explain the scope of services, the buyer-side fees, and how the net proceeds are affected; agents must clearly articulate that fees are set for service and that the buyer's representation also comes with a fee that may need to be addressed in the offer.
Why One SC Brokerage Ditched Broker-to-Broker Comp — And Why Their Agents Have Never Been Happier
Q: What first prompted y'all at Wilder to re-evaluate the compensation model and to ultimately decide to end automatic broker-to-broker compensation?
It was clear that our industry needed to be more transparent and straightforward with our clients regarding commissions.

Q: What lessons would you pass on to Corrin as he gets ready to take over leadership?
