Massive changes for Real Estate buying and selling | News lolita, 13/08/2025 BOSSIER CITY, La – Some seismic changes are coming in the real estate world. It all stems from several antitrust lawsuits against the National Association of Realtors. The NAR on Friday agreed to pay $418 million in damages and eliminate some rules on commission. Some industry observers think the changes could have commissions falling by 25% to 50%. Under the newly scrapped NAR rules, which were enacted in the 1990s, sellers were required to pay for the broker representing the buyer and offer a commission for the buyer’s broker when initially listing a property. That will no longer be the case and there will be more opportunities for negotiation all around. Dianne Gibson, broker and co-owner of East Bank Real Estate “There will be additional disclosures involved with the sellers and buyers. We have not received those disclosures yet, but will be shortly. We have several meetings set up with all the governing bodies of real estate in the state of Louisiana and we’ll get more guidance here soon,” said Dianne Gibson, broker and co-owner of East Bank Real Estate Jenny Spivey, associate broker at East Bank Real Estate “I honestly feel like it will be good.

AG Dana Nessel warns against real estate scams: What to know lolita, 23/07/2025 FOX 2 (WJBK) – Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel is sounding the alarm when it comes to real estate scams. With an increase in fraudulent real estate listings on properties that often do not exist, renters and home buyers should be aware of the warning signs. An advertisement on Zillow listed a Florida house at less than 3% of its actual value, according to a news release from Nessel’s office. The listing “agent” specified they would only engage with first-time home buyers who did not have any representation. Moreover, they demanded a deposit of $4,500 before the house could even be viewed. “Purchasing a home is often the single largest expense a consumer will make in their lifetime, and entering a new lease on a rental home similarly represents a huge financial commitment,” Nessel said in the release. “Sadly, when the sums reach such heights, fraudsters and scammers are drawn to these markets. Prospective homebuyers and renters can avoid falling victim to these scams with moderate vigilance and reasonable precautions, and a healthy skepticism of any listings that appear too good to be true.” Nessel’s warning refers to Zillow’s guidance on what prospective home buyers should be vigilant about.

An already-existing application of blockchain technologies — tokenization — has recently found itself a real-life use case in real estate. Tokenization has been around almost as early as blockchain appeared, and it has been looking up to a bright future from day one. Estimates by McKinsey show that the volume of tokenized digital securities will reach $5 trillion by 2030. Real estate tokenization seems like it will significantly contribute to this growth. The market size for real estate tokenization was $2.7 billion in 2022, and its growth trajectory indicates that it could reach $16 trillion by 2030 according to a report by the Boston Consulting Group. Let’s look into … Continue Reading
