The Real Word

The podcast discusses the NAR settlement terms, brokerages excluded, an article on the settlement by Notorious ROB, and a commission lawsuit seeking $4.7 billion. The episode explores key details and implications of the settlement, reactions from brokerages, and challenges in the real estate market landscape.

Byron Lazine and Nicole White discuss how much the National Association of Realtors (NAR) paid its executives and independent contractors in 2022, NAR’s Hulu series, and the request by law firms for the Sitzer/Burnett plaintiffs for $82M in attorney fees from the settlement payout.
