Are politicians missing the mark on the NAR settlement? Joining us in this episode is Gary Acosta, CEO of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NAHREP), who highlights the unintended consequences of decoupling commissions, emphasizing that it could make homeownership less affordable, especially for first-time homebuyers, and the growing dominance of institutional investors in the market.
We also talk about NAR’s stance on fair housing and affordability, and why Gary is disappointed with their rigid approach. Touching on tricky issues like NIMBYism and zoning laws, as well as the need for NAR’s advocacy role in Washington.
