Too good not to share. At this point, why do we even need Brokers? From the Record:
North Jersey broker challenges ‘outdated’ real estate brick-and-mortar office requirements
Signing paper contracts and filling file cabinets with physical records are likely things of the past for most people. And one North Jersey-based broker says the requirement for brick-and-mortar real estate offices should be, too.
Derek Eisenberg is the founder of Continental Real Estate Group Inc., a national online brokerage based in Hackensack that offers a la carte real estate services. He is currently in the midst of legal battles against real estate commission officials in the states of Nevada and West Virginia, where he said the rules requiring brokerages to have physical office spaces is “outdated” and simply adds unnecessary costs for his expanding business.
“All of our records are electronic,” he said. “We don’t come into our office to write up a contract. Everything is done with DocuSign or Dotloop or ZipForms online. There’s no paperwork done in the office anymore, and basically we never go into these offices.”
“They come to us for the marketing aspect, which is the MLS,” he said, referring to the Multiple Listing Service. “Then they can subscribe to as little services as they want. They can get a basic listing with six photographs and just put them in the MLS, or they can get a very detailed level of service where we will negotiate and basically do everything that a local agent would do short of putting the key in the door.

No crybabies , whiners, complainers for a full day. Good job Grim. once they find out they will all be back WAH WAH.
Lawyers bend thy knee.

The first thing we do, lets kill all the lawyers.
Hillary rips into Donnie, There will be ketchup on the walls of Florida tonight.
“In a dangerous and complex world, it’s not enough to be strong. You must also be smart.
“It’s not the hypocrisy that bothers me; it’s the stupidity. We’re all shocked — shocked! — that President Trump and his team don’t actually care about protecting classified information or federal record retention laws. But we knew that already.”
“The Trump approach is dumb power. Instead of a strong America using all our strengths to lead the world and confront our adversaries, Mr. Trump’s America will be increasingly blind and blundering, feeble and friendless.”
“Don’t let the swagger fool you. Mr. Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth (of group chat fame) are apparently more focused on performative fights over wokeness than preparing for real fights with America’s adversaries.”
“When American aid dollars help stop a famine or an outbreak, when we respond to a natural disaster or open schools, we win hearts and minds that might otherwise go to terrorists or rivals like China. We reduce the flow of migrants and refugees. We strengthen friendly governments that might otherwise collapse.”
“People and leaders around the world are watching to see if democracy can still deliver peace and prosperity or even function. If America is ruled like a banana republic, with flagrant corruption and a leader who puts himself above the law, we lose that argument. We also lose the qualities that have made America exceptional and indispensable.”
“If there’s a grand strategy at work here, I don’t know what it is. Maybe Mr. Trump wants to return to 19th-century spheres of influence. Maybe he’s just driven by personal grudges and is in way over his head. As a businessman, he bankrupted his Atlantic City casinos. Now he’s gambling with the national security of the United States.”
Admit it Jim, You HATE America

Not even slightly, but I do hate corruption and people like you that coast through life…AKA takers who hide behind the keyboard. America was/is land of opportunity and it is what you have done in life. I could not look at myself in the mirror if I coasted through life like you have. But that’s me and obviously not you.

Wall Street sell-off deepens on inflation worries, Dow closes 700 points lower

4:21 oh, I’ve done just fine. Thanks.
12 years in Technology, twenty years in Education. A terrific daughter and a marriage to a great gal. Listing a house for $1M plus making bank on the latest run in real estate. Relocating to Half Moon Bay. Life aint too shabby.
…and I own a vintage BMW and have most of my hair…..
Thanks Donald. Inflation up. Consumer Sentiment down. Market back to yearly lows. We all lost 6 digits on the market, but stopping DEI initiatives saved us all a cup of coffee.
This is MAGA.
In Florida, there is already a shortage of cheap labor. So much so that DeSantis had now allowed kids to work overtime and overnight shifts.
This is only the beginning. Massive inflation is on it’s way. If Trump tries to send you 5K, you are better off returning it like we should have during Covid. We all paid dearly for those checks. And if he fires the FED? All bets are off. Inflation will runaway. But that’s Trumpenomics. A failure at everything. Born on third, ended up on second.
Remember that photo of him holding a bible in front of a boarded up church.
It’s all you need to know.
the market is down 10% to the same spot it was in October!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111111111 Drop the rates to zero!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump buying all of the lawyers.
Nothing corrupt here to see. MAGA can do no wrong.
The flaming tire fire of an administration rolls on.
Are we great yet?
Exactly BRT.
And when Trump is wrong, he doubles down on it like a moron.
JUST IN: 🇺🇸 Over $1.25 trillion wiped out from the US stock market today.
Trump gifting shares of DJT to cabinet heads. Nothing to see here. MAGA can do no wrong.
And don’t think the Dems are going to absolutely burn the whole place down when they get back in office. Simply because they are much smarter with this stuff. We will be a one-party system in 2026.
Judge orders CFPB to reinstate fired employees, preserve records and get back to work.
Another Trump/DOGE success.
Just wait until you see what cars cost next week.
Nice work Donald.
Jim, are we Great yet? Enjoying the show? Are the windows boarded up in your church?
Odds on Trump launching a false flag event, suspending the Constitution, and declaring Martial Law before the mid-term elections.

I am fine Libby, thanks for asking , remember I have 80% of my $$$ in bonds and CDs, plus still own two pieces of hot real estate. The scum illegal immigrants are being deported and caught red handed. Joe’s corruption is being taken care of, I really liked the 22 billion hidden away in a bank on the last days of Biden’s presidency. But I really enjoy your crying like a little girl with your TDS, shows your true self. Joe Biden worst president EVER walked on water in your mind. How about those family pardons. LOL
By the way I live in Morris county not Essex . My church is just fine.
He kind of already did that once with the Covid lockdowns.
Probably the worst government tyranny in my lifetime. Did it because he was willing to copy Xi Jingpeng.
But I don’t think people would go along with what you’re suggesting this time, NorCal.
Not that the sycophantic Republicans are showing any spine regarding their erratic leader. But the low education folks were promised a land of milk and honey, and their patience isn’t very long.
The Farmers will lead the revolution this time. They are getting hammered by the MAGA they voted for. FAFO
What is Hillary doing commenting on records retention and classified information? Does anybody care about anything the Clintons have to say?
Clinton looks like a Rhodes Scholar compared to Trump.
5:11
But don’t have a man bun?
Naw, during lockdown I let my hair grow but looked like Eric Clapton in 1991
Lutnik’s interview with Chamat and David Friedberg is interesting.
https://youtu.be/182ckTL2KBA?si=yGrDjIQI_eH0Cw9J
It gives some insight into how these megalomaniacs are thinking.
A few take aways –
1) The “External Revenue Agency” aka DOGE is a fantasy. With just a small fraction of cuts they have caused so much chaos. Imagine a 25% cut as they want to. It will decimate the federal govt, not just cripple. If at all they achieve it.
2) The import taxes have already caused inflation as shown by today’s numbers and they haven’t even started. We had it good and its time to give up at least 25 % of net worth, fancy cars every 5 years, cheap furniture, big houses, etc.
3) the idea of a sovereign fun is just a brilliant way to siphon govt funds. You can see Lutnick and the billionaire buddies salivate.
4) Musk is going to provide all software for the govt “for free”, so there are no checks and balances. Lutnick openly says he will compensate in other ways!
5) There is a food possibility that this fairy tale of balancing the budget will turn into a horror story now.
These guys are way over their heads.
And why is Trump saying he will send resources to “Thigh”land? Is that America first? Plus, he dismantled USAID, so there’s no established process to send anything.
I’ll just leave this here.

I’m thought he was more into boobs?
This move is vile and pathetic. Pure naked bribery of a public official.
President Trump pardoned Nikola founder Trevor Milton, who had been convicted of fraud in federal court for what prosecutors said were his lies to investors about his zero-emissions trucks.
Just got home from a long day. Do you guys ever take a break from fingering yourselves and discuss the title of today’s post? Grim, shut the blog down. You didn’t create this forum to offer free therapy. You lefties are a fucking drag and a drain. Go on Reddit for crissakes.
Gary, why don’t you go abuse yourself in the bathroom.
