Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this week's: Ask Tim and Julie Harris anything! Many of the questions submitted this week were regarding buyer agency, the commission sharing settlement and the fear that NAR sold members out. Get ready, today, we're diving deep into the wild world of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) proposed settlement. Question 1: "Does The Settlement Leave REALTORS® Hanging, Did NAR Leave Agents Out To Dry?" Welcome back to America's #1 Daily Podcast,  featuring America's #1 Real Estate Coaches and Top EXP Realty Sponsors in the World, Tim and Julie Harris.

Proven and tested lead generation, systems, and scripts designed for this market. Instant FREE Access Now: YES, Enroll Me NOW In Premier Coaching https://premiercoaching.com Answer: NO, Matter of fact nearly every member of NAR (REALTOR®s) are covered by this propsed settlement. Yep, you heard that right! Over 1 million NAR members, state associations, local MLSs, and brokerages with a residential transaction volume of $2 billion or less in 2022 are off the hook for any terrifying liability claims related to broker commissions. Question 2: "My (Big Name Broker) Isn't Part Of The Settlement, Rumors Are Swirling We Might Have To Close Shop..Did NAR Sacrifice My Broker Just Because We Closed Over 2 Billion In 2022? What Happened?" HUGE Announcement: You will love this! Looking for the full outline from today's presentation? Our DAILY Newsletter featured lead generation systems, real estate scripts, daily success plans and (YES) the notes or today's show. Best part? The newsletter is free! https://harrisrealestatedaily.com/ Answer: The reality is that the proposed settlement DOES exclude brokers who did more than 2 billion in volume. And the unfortunate fact is that not all of these 'big brokers' will survive. Most real estate brokerages (big and small) operate on low to NO margin. They make no or virtually no profit from the actual real estate transactions. Their profit comes from mortgage and title. Now, let's set the record straight. NAR fought tooth and nail to include as many folks as possible in this release. While some big dogs didn't make the cut, they're not exactly crying in their coffee. In fact, many are sitting pretty, with thousands of their independent contractor agents getting a get-out-of-jail-free card. Partial list of excluded brokerages: Home Services of America, World Properties, LLC; Douglas Elliman, Inc.; Douglas Elliman Realty, LLC; eXp Realty, LLC; eXp World Holdings, Inc.; Hanna Holdings, Inc.; HomeSmart International, LLC; Howard Hanna Real Estate Services; Realty ONE Group, Inc.; Redfin Corporation; United Real Estate; and Weichert, REALTORS®. Question 3: " Why Did President Biden and Major Media State That NAR Dictates the Commission Rates....Why Did They Say That Commissions Are Set at 6% When Everyone Knows That Isn't True?"

The most foundational of these is to treat your business like a business, regardless of whether or not you work with a brokerage.He also believes that an agent needs their website to be the focal point for anything they do, marketing-wise.

We are extremely excited to have interviewed the creator of eXp Realty and on this episode we hear about how the home buying and selling experience is evolving and how the first ever digital brokerage is shaping the future of real estate.  A bit about Glenn:Glenn Sanford is the founder eXp Realty, CEO of eXp World Holdings, Inc. and Chief Strategy Officer for VirBELA. After being involved with a number of internet start-ups in the 1990s and early 2000s, including a stint at AOL, Glenn started a highly successful real estate career in 2002. In 2006, his fourth full year in the business, Glenn and his team closed over $60,000,000 in real estate almost entirely from online lead generation and was ranked as one of the top 50 teams nationally with Keller Williams. After the downturn in 2008, he and his team developed the first cloud-based brokerage model that uses a 3D avatar based online office to collaborate and communicate while abandoning the physical bricks and mortar infrastructure normally associated with real estate brokerage. In the last 11 years, since launching with 25 agents, eXp Realty has grown to over 87,000 agents across 24 countries.  eXp Realty refers to itself as Agent-owned and the company became a public company in 2013 and in 2014 started to distribute equity to its productive agent owners. eXp Realty provided the first ESOP style Stock Ownership Program for its agents and brokers as well as a revenue sharing program all designed to enhance the agent-centric business model.EXP is the fastest growing brokerage in history and has grown by over 11,000 agents in just the last 12 months alone.     The company saw revenues of $4.6 Billion in 2022, and was one of the few brokerages to post a significant profit in the downturn year.  eXp's market value has exceeded $3.6 Billion and, as the largest shareholder, Glenn is one of the tech worlds most recent Billionaires.  In this episode we talk with Glenn about home buyer and seller behaviours and trends that he's seeing from tracking sales from around the world.     With eXp entering its 15th year, Glenn Sanford discusses the exciting evolution of the brokerage and outlines some of the massive acquisitions they've made recently, and how these are focused on increasing agent abilities to dominate in any marketplace. Glenn talks about the role of artificial intelligence in Real Estate and if there's place for it to completely remove the need for human interaction within a real estate transaction. As with any business model that achieves this level of success, the competition has noticed and the copy-cat brokerages are starting to appear.  Glenn offers his position on the competition, and what he see's as the future for tradition brokerages.  This was a real eye opening and inspiring conversation with a true visionary and someone who has completely altered the course of Real Estate on a Global level. We hope you enjoy it too.To learn more about eXp, visit : https://expworldholdings.com _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

The way we work has forever been changed as a direct result of the Covid-19 pandemic. Now, people want the option to work remotely or are driven to create their own (often online) business. This has created an interesting opportunity for a new franchise called Success Space. Ted Laatz, President of Success Space, joins the Franchise Euphoria Podcast today to talk about the emerging coworking concept that is a subsidiary of EXP World Holdings. This unique concept allows people to use an office space without paying monthly rent or lease and has amenities that other shared office spaces do not offer, like a cafe and access to a full time Certified Success Coach. Ted also discusses and gives great advice for other brands looking to incorporate technology into their existing model.   Key Takeaways: [3:34] - Welcome to the show, Ted! Ted shares his background in franchising. [5:29] - Ted describes the usual coworking industry and how Success Space is different. The way we work has changed. [7:10] - Success Space is larger and has multiple streams of revenue. [9:03] - Franchisees will typically lease space and the sweet spot for the business is in shopping centers. [10:22] - There are different types of offices and Success Space uses a bill by the minute model. [12:10] - Rather than users renting a space by the month, they are only billed for the time they are actually in the office space. [13:31] - In addition to the coworking space and cafe, Success Space has a Certified Success Coach within each location. [15:14] - Ted explains how the idea started and how EXP companies use metaverse technology. [16:42] - Success Space is a new franchise opportunity, but they are a subsidiary of a well established company. [17:55] - Why did franchising make more sense for Success Space? [19:01] - There are no plans for Success Space to have a company owned location. [20:33] - Who is the ideal franchisee for Success Space? [23:27] - Covid changed the way we work and Ted believes that we are settling into a hybrid model of working in the office and out. [25:50] - Remote working is certainly being pushed by the up and coming generation. Coworking spaces and working from home are both types of remote working. [27:32] - Some people work from public cafes like Starbucks, but Success Space gives a variety of spaces to work, eat, break, and collaborate with a coach.   Mentioned in This Episode: Success Space Website Success Space Franchise

Season 2 Episode 26 Host: Sheila Glavee Guest: Darren Jacklin PwS Quote: " Life is like riding a bicycle, to keep your balance you must keep moving" by Albert Einstein Darren's Quote: "Time will either promote you or expose you" From growing up with learning disabilities, to barely passing public high school, to living on the streets and on welfare, to multiple suicide attempts – Darren Jacklin thought he was fated for failure. Throughout his upbringing, he was repeatedly told that his disabilities would forever keep him from amounting to anything. For years, he struggled under the weight of these labels, accepting this as his destiny, until the pivotal moment when someone believed in him. This gave him the power to believe in himself for the first time and completely reshape his life. Darren has since trained over one million people in forty-eight countries across four continents including one hundred fifty-seven Fortune 500 companies. As an Independent Board of Director with eXp World Holdings, INC. (Nasdaq: EXPI), he has rung the closing bell at Nasdaq twice. He also serves on other high-profile public and private Board of Directors. With his life partner and their family foundation, Leaders Yielding 2 New Knowledge (LY2NK), their mission is to expand global philanthropy.  Darren shares his transformative experiences that have allowed him to find purpose as a successful corporate trainer, world-class speaker, and investor in both real estate and business. This insightful memoir takes you on a journey of successes and failures from the perspective of someone who knows what it's like to give up on life, yet has still achieved immeasurable results.  Darren's life has been transformed by embodying persistence and "Until I Become" is centered around this theme in hopes of inspiring you to do the same.

Hän on työskennellyt investointipankissa Venäjällä, ekonomistina Suomen Pankissa sekä päästrategina Danske Bankissa ja Taalerilla. Nykyisin hän luotsaa WIP Technology Fund -erikoissijoitusrahastoa, joka aloitti huhtikuussa. Teknologia- ja alustayhtiöt valtaavat maailmaa, eikä murroksessa ole kyse vain Googlen, Facebookin, Applen ja Amazonin kaltaisista jäteistä, Komulainen pohjustaa. Hän kertoo, miten Yhdysvalloissa esimerkiksi kiinteistönvälitys on menossa vauhdilla nettiin. WIP Technology Fundista löytyy muun muassa eXp World Holdings, joka toimii jo 18 maan kiinteistömarkkinoilla. Ruotsi on uusi Piilaakso, josta Suomen olisi syytä ottaa oppia, Komulainen herättelee, ja viittaa menestyneisiin ruotsalaisiin teknologiayhtiöihin. Hänen mukaansa Suomessa pitäisi kehittää voimakkaasti pääomasijoittamisen kenttää, ja lisäksi nostaa yritysten ambitiotasoa. Ruotsista Komulainen on poiminut rahastoonsa esimerkiksi viestipalveluyhtiö Sinchin. Mikko Jylhä haastattelee.

In today’s episode, I’m joined by real estate agent and founder of ONE eXp, Fee Gentry. On a mission to make real estate a place “where everyone feels like they have a place to belong”, Fee works tirelessly to help shape the future of our industry. In order to make real estate an industry that represents everyone, we have to go beyond tokenism and create a space where everyone can be part of the conversation. Fee shares why this is so important to this industry and our ability to attract and retain the leaders of tomorrow.    Fee is not only a real estate agent, but an agent for change. She understands the importance of home ownership in building wealth and for over 15 years, has been helping her clients discover smart real estate investments. Her passion for inclusion and unity both within and outside of the real estate world has led her to spearhead innovative initiatives, helping to create a real estate industry where everyone’s voice can be heard and valued. Fee is the founder of ONE eXp, an initiative within eXp Realty which supports career development, champions fair housing principles and provides networking opportunities that encourage cultural awareness in supporting diverse groups such as Veterans, Pride, LatinX, Seniors and more. Fee is also part of the Board of Directors for eXp World Holdings where she is helping to build an equitable real estate industry from the inside out.   When the world is tested, we’re given the opportunity to move toward something better, and bring more value to the human race. 2020 put a lot into perspective for all of us, and for the real estate industry. Everything we went through made many agents and leaders think deeply about the future and where we’re going as an industry.     How do we create an industry where everyone feels valued, seen, heard and represented? This was an important call and one of the driving factors behind ONE eXp. There’s value in building workplaces that give everyone a feeling of belonging, it won’t just change real estate now, it will affect our ability to attract and retain talent in the future.    Website: https://feegentry.com/ Instagram: @feegentry https://life.exprealty.com/one-exp/   Guest Info   Fee is not only a real estate agent, but an agent for change.

It is usual for people to find the most convenient way to get things done. A lot of the times, many ideas come to people’s minds on how to ease one’s work, but it’s a matter of whether they take action on their ideas to see if it works or not. And instead of waiting for someone else to start doing it, why not try it yourself?   On today’s episode, we have Glenn Sanford share with us what led him to learn how to automate things that are repetitive, which eventually led him to combine both his knowledge in technology and real estate to create the eXp model that no one else has done before.   Glenn is the chairman and CEO at eXp World Holdings, which he founded in July 2008. Their global brokerage, eXp Realty, is considered as one of the fastest-growing real estate companies. Before getting into real estate, he has worked with a number of internet start-ups in the 1990s and early 2000s.    Here’s What You Missed How eXp Realty came to life “I thought about the profit share as being my retirement plan into residential real estate. Ultimately, I ended up not finding that the profit share model was as profitable as the recruiting brochure suggested.” (12:32) “Once I had been there for three years, I decided that I would start my own brokerage, given all the things I was doing.” (12:52) “Based on everything we've learned to date and given the state of technology and where it's come to today, how can we build a real estate brokerage that's not dependent on bricks and mortar?” (13:21) “...how do we build a retirement plan so that we can ultimately create a model where, at the end of the day, if I ever wanted to not sell real estate again, there would be enough in it that I could actually retire, which is really tough.” (13:38)   Two different Management Styles “One is a command and control style management style, which is go do this, go do that.” (15:27) “The other style is a coaching style, which is, I'm really more about helping you become better as a real estate professional and as staff and other things, and that's been pretty much since I've got into business.” (15:38) “There's a certain amount of command and control, there's a certain amount coaching that one has to sort of balance out.“ (15:57)   Struggles of building a new model “...anybody who we recruited from, they would rightly so put us down because we were brand new and we might not make it and that this model hadn't been tried before, et cetera.” (17:05) “We had to overcome just the general pushback that the competitors had at that point in time to overcome that. And that was a lot of work, but for the most part, we thought it had potential, we thought it had legs.” (17:18) “In my mind it's like, somebody is going to do this, why not us?” (18:18)   The birth of the eXp model “I wanted to first, figure out how to solve for cashflow issues.” (20:21) “By leveling it out and creating another stream of income through a revenue share program, it levels out that income challenge.” (20:46) “So when we started eXp, I wanted agents to have that same opportunity that wasn't really provided to me as an agent, because I knew that it would be important.” (21:49) “We knew that if agents could get equity and they could feel like owners and they had a way, a path, to get more ownership if they wanted to have more ownership, that would be the game changer.” (22:36) “Anybody can do sort of we call it the revenue share profit share model, but not everybody could do the equity model.” (22:48)   Relevance of personal development to real estate “Because of having the Success platform, we've got so many interesting and unique people that we're having conversations with, that we can bring and expose to our real estate community that nobody else will be able to do.” (27:08) “You could almost think about eXp Realty as being a personal development company that just happens to sell real estate. That's how we make our living. But it's all about getting better as a person, as a human being.” (39:56)   Joining eXp as a brand new agent “...the person that brings you into eXp is, to some extent, responsible for you plugging in, you being successful.” (30:48) “We've got a ton of resources. You're going to have to plug in more. You're going to have to explore more.” (31:45) “...if you don't have the right sponsor, make sure you're plugging in everywhere you can. We've got our virtual world, we've got training going on all the time. Literally, you can get trained and connected, attend masterminds, ask questions, plug in.” (32:13) “Even if you don't have a great sponsor, there's more than enough resources, but you're gonna have to be a little bit more proactive in figuring out what you need to do next.” (32:29)   Building relationships with other agents and brokers “I think that's the thing that's always served me well is that by adding value and then becoming recognized as a person who adds value, you automatically are becoming somebody that people want to do business with.” (38:01) “The idea is that those people who add the most value are also the ones that tend to get valued the most.” (38:40)   Network marketing style concept “I think the network marketing style concept is the most brilliant concept of distributing products and services that was ever invented.” (43:09) “I never had a challenge with it being called network marketing, MLM or any of that stuff, because at the end of the day, we, as individual entrepreneurs in the field, need a way to leverage and to actually create leverage in our life.” (43:48) “Network marketing concepts are simply a tool that can be used in a legitimate way to get products and services to market.” (44:37) “Network marketing comp structures is all about empowering people in the field to actually develop additional streams of income for helping those companies actually get those products and services to market, which makes, in my mind, total sense.” (45:19)   Do business with people sharing the same viewpoint “I think one thing is if you've got a good idea, and I've had some ideas in the past that I think were great ideas, make sure that you're truly aligned with people who are aligned with what you're trying to do.” (46:56) “If you don't have alignment early on, then you're going to struggle because they won't understand what you're trying to do, and they'll, to some extent, try to pull you off your game.” (47:29) “Creating that alignment earlier, I think will ultimately yield better things across the board.” (47:42) “For me, it's really about not getting into business with people who aren't truly aligned and spend the time upfront, making sure you have the alignment before you create the more contractual agreements.” (47:51)   Quotes and Advice from our host and guest: “Equity is more powerful than cash flow.” - Glenn (18:59) “Most agents aren't the best business people. They tend to not plan as well for taxes and some of the other things that comes along with being in business.” - Glenn (19:23) “When one person wins, we all win.” - Casanova (29:28) “Nobody has an excuse not to be successful, but they do have to make sure that they're being proactive and we're going to do everything we can to help them be successful. But they got to step up.” - Glenn (34:14) “Plug in, plug in, plug in. Find out what stuff resonates with you as an agent, as an entrepreneur, as somebody who wants to both add value but then also consume content to up-level the way you're approaching the business, and you know, you can't help but be successful.” - Glenn (36:55) “Every day we're all looking, we should be looking, to get just 1% better. If we could just get 1% better, over the course of the year, we know that's 365% and who wouldn't take a 360 turnaround.” - Casanova (42:14) “Collaboration over competition.” - Casanova (46:17)   Books, Mentions, and Links: Glenn Sanford eXp Realty eXp World Holdings  Instagram  Twitter  LinkedIn  Success Magazine  SUCCESS Achievers Community    Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy  Keller Williams Realty  Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices  RE/MAX  Compass  Virbela Tony Robbins  Grant Cardone  Sell or Be Sold  Tom Hopkins  Kirtus Dixon  Stuart Johnson  How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie 

In today’s episode, I’m joined by real estate agent and founder of ONE eXp, Fee Gentry. On a mission to make real estate a place “where everyone feels like they have a place to belong”, Fee works tirelessly to help shape the future of our industry. In order to make real estate an industry that represents everyone, we have to go beyond tokenism and create a space where everyone can be part of the conversation. Fee shares why this is so important to this industry and our ability to attract and retain the leaders of tomorrow.    Fee is not only a real estate agent, but an agent for change. She understands the importance of home ownership in building wealth and for over 15 years, has been helping her clients discover smart real estate investments. Her passion for inclusion and unity both within and outside of the real estate world has led her to spearhead innovative initiatives, helping to create a real estate industry where everyone’s voice can be heard and valued. Fee is the founder of ONE eXp, an initiative within eXp Realty which supports career development, champions fair housing principles and provides networking opportunities that encourage cultural awareness in supporting diverse groups such as Veterans, Pride, LatinX, Seniors and more. Fee is also part of the Board of Directors for eXp World Holdings where she is helping to build an equitable real estate industry from the inside out.   When the world is tested, we’re given the opportunity to move toward something better, and bring more value to the human race. 2020 put a lot into perspective for all of us, and for the real estate industry. Everything we went through made many agents and leaders think deeply about the future and where we’re going as an industry.     How do we create an industry where everyone feels valued, seen, heard and represented? This was an important call and one of the driving factors behind ONE eXp. There’s value in building workplaces that give everyone a feeling of belonging, it won’t just change real estate now, it will affect our ability to attract and retain talent in the future.    Website: https://feegentry.com/ Instagram: @feegentry https://life.exprealty.com/one-exp/ Time Stamps    01:06 - Fee Gentry’s real estate story and how she sold 39 homes in a new town  04:43 - How Fee intuitively leaned into online marketing before everyone else  06:30 - Why Fee goes after specific niches  11:53 - The story of the One eXp initiative  15:41 - How to create a workplace where everyone feels valued  19:23 - What Fee has learned over the last year and her insights of the future.  Guest Info   Fee is not only a real estate agent, but an agent for change.

Guest BioGlenn Sanford is the founder eXp Realty, CEO of eXp World Holdings, Inc. and Chief Strategy Officer for VirBELA. After being involved with a number of internet start-ups in the 1990's and early 2000's, including a stint at AOL, Glenn started a highly successful real estate career in 2002. In 2006, his fourth full year in the business, Glenn and his team closed over $60,000,000 in real estate almost entirely from online lead generation, and was ranked as one of the top 50 teams nationally with Keller Williams. After the downturn in 2008 he and his team developed the first cloud-based brokerage model that uses a 3D avatar based online office to collaborate and communicate while abandoning the physical bricks and mortar infrastructure normally associated with real estate brokerage. In the last 9 years, since launching with 25 agents, eXp Realty has grown to over 15000 agents in all 50 states, DC and 3 Provinces in Canada and over 400 different MLS market areas. eXp Realty refers to itself as Agent-owned and the company became a public company in 2013 and in 2014 started to distribute equity to its productive agent owners. eXp Realty provides the first ESOP style Stock Ownership Program for its agents and brokers as well as a revenue sharing program all designed to enhance the agent centric business model.

On this episode, I'm honored to be joined by founder of eXp Realty, Glenn Sanford. As a part of eXp, we've seen first hand what makes this company and its leadership so outstanding. It's a company of entrepreneurs who are building something special together, and this all started with the forward-thinking model Glenn envisioned back in 2009, when virtual brokerages hadn't begun to take shape. What always struck us about Glenn was his deep understanding of the challenges real estate business owners face, and the opportunities that are available to us. It's this business-minded approach, and his drive to create an engaged company culture in a virtual setting that has made eXp grow to take 2% of the US agent market, and helped it continue to grow globally.  After being involved with a number of internet start-ups in the 1990's and early 2000's, including a stint at AOL, Glenn started a highly successful real estate career in 2002. In 2006, his fourth full year in the business, Glenn and his team closed over $60,000,000 in real estate almost entirely from online lead generation and was ranked as one of the top 50 teams nationally with Keller Williams. After the downturn in 2008, he and his team developed the first cloud-based brokerage model that uses a 3D avatar-based online office to collaborate and communicate while abandoning the physical bricks and mortar infrastructure normally associated with real estate brokerage. In the last 9 years, since launching with 25 agents, eXp Realty has grown to over 15000 agents in all 50 states, DC and 3 Provinces in Canada and over 400 different MLS market areas. eXp Realty refers to itself as Agent-owned and the company became a public company in 2013 and in 2014 started to distribute equity to its productive agent owners. eXp Realty provides the first ESOP style Stock Ownership Program for its agents and brokers as well as a revenue sharing program all designed to enhance the agent-centric business model.    What has made eXp Realty such an attractive company for many Realtors across that  globe is that it's a company of entrepreneurs who are building something together. It's a culture that doesn't just promote innovation, it also rewards entrepreneurs for it. The success of the company stems from the early vision its leaders had to lean into the virtual model, without losing engagement, commonality and the shared context of being a Realtor in today's world.    In Today's Episode, We Talk About;   -  Glenn's background before eXp. - Where the idea for eXp Realty came from, and the pieces that came together for it to happen.   - The power of building into a future trend early.  - How to get a virtual brokerage right and uphold the team environment in a geographically dispersed setting.   - Why Glenn decided to make eXp a publicly traded real estate company and  building a vehicle for ownership.   - Building a strong team and why hiring generalists is better than specialist. - The goal to scale eXp.   - What Glenn sees on the horizon in real estate and why agents shouldn't be too panicked about change.  Guest Info   Glenn is the founder eXp Realty and CEO of eXp World Holdings, Inc. eXp Realty refers to itself as Agent-owned and the company became a public company in 2013 and in 2014 started to distribute equity to its productive agent owners. eXp Realty provides the first ESOP style Stock Ownership Program for its agents and brokers as well as a revenue sharing program all designed to enhance the agent-centric business model.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/glenndsanford/

It's Quarter 3 Earnings Reports Season!   Redfin beats expectations, posts $239M in revenue for Q3 2019 The latest earnings report comes as the tech-oriented brokerage steadily expands programs such as RedfinNow and Redfin Direct, which could upend how consumers engage with real estate   Redfin continued a multi-quarter hot streak Wednesday, revealing that during the third quarter of this year it raked in $239 million in revenue.   The online brokerage's revenue represented a jump of 70 percent year-over-year. Gross profit also jumped from $42.3 million a year ago to $53.4 million this quarter, an increase of 26 percent. And earnings per share ended up at $0.07.   All of those figures easily beat analyst expectations. Leading into Wednesday's report, financial experts had expected to see the company bring in $230.14 million in revenue, an increase of merely 64.1 percent year-over-year. Analysts also expected earnings-per-share to remain unchanged from a year ago at $0.04.         Realogy posts a net loss of $70M in Q3 after $1.6B in revenue   The loss was driven primarily by a $180M impairment at NRT, Realogy's own-side brokerage   Realogy reported a net loss of $70 million in the third quarter of 2019, a major swing from the $103 million in profit it posted in the third quarter of 2018. The loss was driven primarily by a $180 million impairment at NRT, Realogy's own-side brokerage, according to the company. The company also posted an adjusted earnings per share of $0.65, missing the consensus estimate of $0.85 per share.   Realogy to Sell its Global Relocation Business to SIRVA Worldwide, Inc. in $400 Million Transaction - Realogy will use a substantial majority of net proceeds to pay down corporate debt and will leverage Broker Network and Affinity business to serve a broader customer-base   Saddled with $3.5 billion in total debt, Realogy said Thursday that it will sell Cartus' relocation business to SIRVA, a relocation company that owns Allied Van Lines. The deal does not include recent affiliations meant to drive business, such as partnerships with Amazon and AARP.   “This transaction is about simplifying and amplifying — simplifying Realogy's business, and amplifying Realogy's value,” the company said in a statement. The deal is expected to close during the first half of 2020.       EXp World Holdings posts major revenue gain, losses narrow   The parent company of eXp Realty beat the consensus estimate, posting a net loss of $0.03 per share and revenue of $282M   EXp World Holdings, the parent company of virtual cloud real estate brokerage eXp Realty, continued its precipitous growth in the third quarter of 2019, posting $282 million in revenue, a year-over-year growth of nearly 80 percent. Overall losses for the company also narrowed, as eXp World Holdings posted a net loss of $1.8 million, compared to a net loss of $4.6 million in the third quarter of 2018.   “In addition to revenue growth of nearly 80 percent year-over-year this quarter, improvement in managing our allocation of capital enhanced our measures of profitability,” Jeff Whiteside, eXp World Holdings CFO and chief collaboration officer, said in a statement.       SoftBank posts $6.4B loss, CEO 'regrets' WeWork investment The company also reported it lost $4.6B in its WeWork stock value after WeWork's failed initial public offering   SoftBank, the Japanese conglomerate with a heavy investment in U.S. tech startups, posted a net loss of slightly more than 700 billion Japanese yen – or approximately $6.4 billion – in the second quarter of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2020. The company also reported after WeWork's failed initial public offering and public valuation plummet that it lost approximately $4.6 billion in its WeWork stock value from that valuation decline.     Compass makes major changes to its stock option program The company is shifting from offering equity stock options to restricted stock units that would vest in the event of an IPO   Compass is making big changes to its agent equity program, according to an internal memo obtained exclusively by Inman. The company is shifting from offering equity stock options — an option to buy stock in the future at a set price, or strike price — to restricted stock units that will vest under certain conditions.   “This is an exciting change that eliminates the need for you to pay a strike price to purchase your equity,” Compass' CFO Kristen Ankerbrandt explained in the memo.   A source within Compass told Inman that the vesting schedule is much shorter with the new plan. The vesting schedule was previously four years, but with this new schedule, agents' stock units will vest either in the event of an initial public offering (IPO), or when the board grants the restricted stock units in 2021.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are here to stay   When the federal government announced earlier this week that it would allow Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to rebuild a portion of their capital reserves to a total of $45 billion combined as part of a plan to exit conservatorship, the message was clear: The government-sponsored enterprises are back and they're not likely to go away any time soon.   It's a dramatic reversal from where things stood just a few years ago, when the prevailing sentiment in Washington, D.C. was how to get rid of the GSEs, once and for all.   In fact, there were numerous Congressional efforts that would have seen the GSEs wound down within five years. And, if one of those bills had passed in 2015 (as was certainly a possibility), the GSEs likely would be in their last year of existence as we speak.   Instead, the GSEs appear primed to exit conservatorship on stable footing with healthy financial backing and reformed operations. So, how exactly did we get here?     Digital homebuying platform Prevu announces $2 million in seed funding New York City buyers can receive rebates averaging $23,000 using the platform     Prevu, a customer-focused digital homebuying platform, announced recently that it raised $2 million in seed funding in September.   According to Prevu, the funding was led by Corigin Ventures, a seed-stage venture capital firm focused on real estate technology and consumer industries.   The company claims that its “Smart Buyer” platform offers homebuyers an easier approach to homebuying, giving them the tools and advice they need to guide them through the early phases of the process.   Prevu's agents answer questions along the way and step in during the last mile, assisting buyers to schedule a tour, make an offer, negotiate a purchase and close on a transaction, all through Prevu's platform. Prevu then passes two-thirds of its commission back to each buyer who completes a purchase on the platform, delivering a rebate of up to 2%.  New York City buyers can receive rebates averaging $23,000 using Prevu's Smart Buyer Platform.    eXp launches its own instant offer platform The virtual cloud-based real estate brokerage isn't exactly going to be buying homes, however. With Express Offers, announced Thursday, eXp Realty will solicit multiple buyers at once, yielding more than one cash offer.   “Unlike other platforms that are out there, what we've designed is a platform where on one side, we have eXp Realty agents and then on the other side of the platform, are institutional buyers from across the U.S,” Ted Laatz, vice president of affiliated services at eXp World Holdings, told Inman. “EXp Realty itself is not buying the properties, we're teaming up with institutional buyers to buy the property.”
