The Aftermath of NAR Rules: Agents' Reactions

Episode Summary: James Dwiggins, CEO of NextHome, discusses the impact of the NAR settlement on the real estate industry. He shares that companies that were prepared and ahead of the changes have been able to navigate the new rules effectively. However, many are still struggling to understand and adapt to the changes. Dwiggins predicts a 20-40% exodus of real estate agents due to the decoupling of compensation.
