From CNN:
America’s largest real estate brokerages are fighting over private listings
When a deal to buy Caitlin Bigelow’s San Francisco condo fell through last month, she felt relief, rather than disappointment.
Bigelow was working with a Realtor she trusted from Compass who had suggested she first list her home as a “Compass Private Exclusive.” That meant her home wouldn’t immediately be publicly advertised on home-search websites like Zillow or Redfin. Instead, the listing would be announced internally at Compass, one of America’s largest real estate brokerages, meaning only buyers represented by other Compass agents knew the home was for sale.
Bigelow had received two offers from this method — including one for $2.1 million, which was $95,000 over her list price.
It was the “magic number” she had in mind, and she quickly accepted. At first, she was thrilled. But after having time to think, she began to feel a sense of unease.
“Only two people had seen (the home) and we seemed to be hitting our magic number already,” Bigelow told CNN. “The longer I sat with that, the more I felt like, well, if two people saw it and we hit the number, what if 50 people saw it?”
…
Although Compass is not the only brokerage that lists homes off-market, the practice has become a signature part of how its agents market home listings. And it has prompted backlash: Other leaders in the residential real estate industry argue the practice is exclusionary and threatens to further chip away at consumer trust in real estate agents.
“If a portion of inventory is removed and only shown to a small group of people, by definition, that’s an exclusionary behavior that’s going to hurt others,” said Leo Pareja, the CEO of eXp Realty, another one of America’s largest real estate brokerages.
He said his company only handles private transactions when it’s required in special situations: “Fewer than 1,000 transactions for us last year were private exclusives out of 350,000.”
Critics also say the private listing strategy unfairly pushes home sellers to make deals with buyers represented by other Compass agents, resulting in the brokerage collecting a commission from both sides of the transaction.
Numero uno
“Only two people had seen (the home) and we seemed to be hitting our magic number already,” Bigelow told CNN. “The longer I sat with that, the more I felt like, well, if two people saw it and we hit the number, what if 50 people saw it?”
Why is a house tour guide required for the average residence at 5% of the sale? Especially in the digital age. And the seller accepted the offer so I assume after attorney review there’s no turning back? Could the seller renege, kill the deal, drop the private agent and do a standard listing? The seller’s first problem was believing the private house guide had her best interest at heart. You have an asset, we can feast off of it.
Either way, when listing a house, make sure you use the words “exclusive” and “artisan” in the general description. Throw in a “renowned” and “outstanding” as salt and pepper. Finally, use words like “dishy”, “cozy” and “expansive” to close it all out.
When touring the house, wood floors are not just oak, they’re phellem and ash (no, that’s not a crime-fighting duo). See what I’m saying?
Just another parasite

After 8 hours of waiting in person I have been excused from jury duty.
We found out that RE in Pittsburgh around campus is all about location, location and location. Anything that is walkable to CMU campus is over the top. A 1BR apartment after utilities and all can run $1800+/mo if you do not want to share.
Trying to buy does not make sense either with HOA fees at most places near campus is $1100 and some of them don’t include property tax that is another $300/mo.
The grad student needs to run experiments at all times of the day and night and does not want to live too far.
Finally found a 1br pad at $1900 that is a few blocks from his department for $1900 that includes utils, internet etc with common laundry. Dude is signing the lease today.
5 miles away the story is completely different with new inventory propping up every day and a lot more affordable.
Parking around that campus is brutal. Visited Pitt a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful campus.
Falls within my “please, can we just stay within a 6-8 hour drive” request.

Congrats.
Don’t let those a holes like Mike Rowe convince you or your child that they should do “dirty jobs” like cleaning septic tanks.
You want to have your kid hire someone to to that.
Just look at Fast Eddie. When he was a young lad he personally lugged 800 contractor sized wheelbarrows full of crushed granite three miles up a six percent grade. In fact, when you drive up the hill on rt 280 in West Orange he was the one who moved all the blasted material from the site.
Then he realized school was the better idea. He lives well, judges other’s homes, and the hardest part of his day is deciding which type of Chex Mix to spread in the yard for his neighbors children.
You do want better for your kid as well, don’t want them starting out the way Eddie did.
Mike Rowe is a turd that needs flushing. Put him and Portnoy in the same Port-a-John.
I got excused from both federal petite (Newark) and county (Hackensack) juries in March.
Both requests came just weeks apart of each other. I was shtn my pants, but it all turned out well. All remote too. You now call in on Sunday to find out about mon-wed and call in on wed evening to find out if you’re needed for thu-fri.
When he was a young lad he personally lugged 800 contractor sized wheelbarrows full of crushed granite three miles up a six percent grade.
I can’t tell you how many buckets of dirt and rock I carried up stairs putting in French drains. I can’t believe all the jobs I did in a 12 year span. I could write a book. And yet, as I wind down my career as a project manager, I hope I have the strength to return to some of it in some form. I never shied away from work boots and gloves.
Forget college. How long before a few people stage something like this and split the proceeds?

This morning I Stopped at the grocery store after dropping off the high school kid at school to pick up the produce to make dinner for the next few nights. I’m checking out and the cashier asked me if the two red onions were radishes. How do you mistake an onion the size of your fist for a radish? And we wonder why our population is so unhealthy. I bet the guy could id every item on the fast food menus in town.
At least the bagger and the cashier next to him were making fun of him.
Hold, I was at Wegmans yesterday. Alongside the burger patties, they have a sliced veggie pack with 4 leaves of lettuce, 4 slices of onion, 4 slices of a tomato. 6 bucks. More than the head of lettuce, onion, and tomato cost individual but a fraction of the weight. People are obviously buying this stuff.
Where did this money go?
https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/faa-begins-investing-1b-bipartisan-infrastructure-law-funding-air-traffic-control-system
Well, China is back at it…building that bubble in gold.
BRT
It’s really sad how people are so clueless. I was annoyed paying $1.39 a pound for red onions. $6 for those burger toppings would get me cranked up. You could buy organic prewashed green leaf lettuce, an organic onion and tomato for less than $6.
But maybe the buyers value having more time to watch tic toc worth the $6 for those pre sliced toppings.
Why in the world would you want a massive house? I will never understand that mindset. I have so much money, let me blow it on a giant home in which I will use maybe 20% of the home…the rest of the home just sits idle wasting precious resources to maintain it..never mind the precious energy wasted heating and cooling it.
Again, that’s why I don’t see the purpose of massive amounts of money. Only so much chit you can buy, waste of time making more than you need.
We idolize the wealthy, when in reality, they are the biggest fools amongst us. Wasted their life accruing money they don’t need, use it to buy chit they don’t need, and end up dying with a massive surplus they never spend. This is supposed to be high intelligence? How? All ears…
BRT I misread your issue with Wegmans, I thought it included 4 veggie burgers, bread and toppings for $6, for that price yeah if it’s mid week and I have to run in and get something for me and the kids at 6pm before jumping to a late meeting I would go for it.
Here’s to hoping we get some handshake tariffs agreements. I wonder if the handshake agreements are in good faith like when you hire a contractor and then have him do additional work no need to rewrite the proposal, I’ll just find a way to pay half in the end.
8:24 – thanks. I do worry about my kid/ young man. He has 2 engineering degrees and a minor in math and heading to CMU for a phd in hardcore material science engg – but will not help much with any kind of labor. I like to think it should be a balance of both. He wasn’t good at sports but music was his thing. All the jokes say about Tuba players are true! I was a lot less theoretical and he definitely gets his geekiness from my wife.
Boomer 8:38, I wish I had that luck and they called us via zoom.
They called 400 potential jurors to be used by 4 judges in person to the middlesex court. But the waiting cleared a lot of my thoughts and let me crunch on the rent vs buy numbers.
My FIL was in from Phoenix for the weekend. Wants me to get into tax lien investing in AZ. Apparently lots of snowbirds and aged owners falling behind.
I think Mike Rowe does a lot of good. Not in my crowd, but there are a lot of people, mostly guys, who are interested in physical work, not mindless, but not wordsmiths either. Rowe’s first shows highlighted the “dirty” aspect of certain jobs, but I’ve subsequently seen some episodes illustrating the actual physical manufacturing and maintenance that is required to get things done. Lots of it done with tools and partial automation. With so many “high efficiency” electronic machines mandated by government and now failing within a few years because they are designed for green regulatory compliance rather than durability, we need more HVAC/refrigerator/washer-dryer tech people than ever.
Rent,
Jury duty sucks. I’ve been called at least ten times now. There was a brief hiatus when I had to get out of serving and dropped the N word in front of the judge who threatened to hold me in contempt. I wasn’t called for about ten years after that.
As to housing near colleges. It’s the same everywhere. Even in cheap ass Gainesville where my son goes to school. But considering we were prepared to pay 90K a year and have had to pay nothing, we can justify paying a king’s ransom for him to stay in a luxury apartment near campus. We put our foot down when he mentioned the hot tub on the balcony upgrade. Heck, we are paying as much for his deeded parking spot as locals are probably paying rent. But he deserves it. Kid works his ass off.
As for kids not doing laborious stuff. It will become a problem if he ever owns a home. Paying for landscapers, lawn mowers, simple car, electric and plumbing repairs will absolutely kill you if you are living check to check.

NoOne,
There aren’t many things I can’t fix myself. I owe it to my biological dad, who managed a Radio Shack in the late 70’s, early 80’s getting me one of these when I was in third grade.

I also was given a TRS80 microcomputer with 4K of memory. To save programs, you hit play and record on a cassette player. To load them, you played them back into the computer, all through an AUX cord. Of course, cassette tapes sucked back then and I lost hundreds of hours of programming due to a mangled cassette tape. Or I would go to play the program back in and my older brothers would have recorded over the tape with such clever humor as a recording of calling me a nerd over and over.
Once you understand basic electronics, it’s a very small jump to plumbing. Everything in life is essentially a circuit. Even your body is to some extent.
I got one of these kits for my son. He used it to collect dust. Today, he can barely replace a light bulb. Though, I’ve been working on him. I recently sent him a Youtube video of how to replace the sunvisor in his beater with the replacement visor. I also got him a code reader for the computer in his beater, since I was sick of paying $100 every time the check engine light went on. He’s slowly learning and realizing how much money you can save fixing things on his own. My rule of thumb was that if it cost less to purchase the necessary tools to fix it yourself rather than bring someone in, then I would always at least try it myself first. Only twice have I had to bring a professional in to bail me out and both times, I was super close to succeeding, but the pro knew a “trick” that I didn’t.
Darky,
You should have been there that day. It was Grand Jury, so you were likely going to be out of work every Wednesday for the better of 6 months. The trial was a bodega robbery gone bad where the 14 year-old was being tried as an adult for murder. I had finally gotten my first professional job after college and was working like 80 hours a week. If I had to serve, I probably would have lost that job. The economy was in recession and jobs were hard to find back then. I was making 18K a year and living in basement in Clifton by Punk Rock Bagel. I had made friends in the jury pool with two other guys, also in a situation like mine. We all needed to get off and this judge was not taking no for an answer. I remember, one mother saying that she had to take care of her daughter who had cancer. The Judge wouldn’t excuse her and said, the court will pay for a caretaker while she served. One of the two I befriended was a brother btw, but I told him ahead of time what I planned to do. When the Judge called me up to be interviewed by the public defender and the state, I told them I had a problem with niggers. The judge screamed at me, and threw me out in about ten seconds. I winked at my two new friends as I walked out of the room. They were laughing pretty hard. Now I’ve been called more times than I cared to be, and never again backed out of my duty. But I really had no choice at the time.
Mike Rowe’s advice is spot on. Except that one should not be the technician, one should be the owner.
I am reviewing financials for a potential business acquisition and I want to be in exactly this space: boring, necessary B2B services. Generators, evap coolers, refrigeration, required testing, etc…
If you are at the helm of any of these your discretionary earnings are ~$500K, then there’s the equity if the wheels stay on. From where I stand, this is preferable to a white collar position at or below this level.
Do you know all the biased ignorant shit that you post here day after day? Most of it was authored at Columbia and Harvard.

11:36 – Chi, which part of what I said is biased? You are funny if you think Trump is attacking Harvard because he cares about anti-semitism.
11:39 – that clip can be interpreted in many ways.
Destroying critical research at Harvard because he knows there are people like Chicago who only cared about making a buck is stupid will support him, is what the problem is. Nothing to do with diversity here. In fact project 2025 clearly calls out that places of higher education need to be destroyed.

Rent. You are old!
Long time reader, 10 years! Need some help, I’m back in the housing market again, ind it seems very bubbly in the train towns. Feels like 2005 market out there.
Any recommendations for a real mortgage broker with good rates? Looking at 20% down, fixed rate, 30 years, about $750K house price (which is almost Newark these days). Credit score is 850.
Not old. Just was behind the times by a decade at the place I was involved with. Although “old” is relative and debatable.
UK and India just did a trade deal. Without us.
Redux,
Unless you are sure you are staying there for 7 years minimum, I would put as little down as possible in case it is 2005. Only fools put down 20% these days.
You can always refinance if things break your way. It’s insurance against it. Since it’s clear you are smart with finances, I would just through that 15% into treasuries or the like and wait and see. The jingle mail option will work well for you if it doesn’t and you can rent with the cash leftover until your credit is cleaned up. Just make sure to pay the taxes.
Throw, not through. Tired today.
Redux, I would wait if I were you. I waited 6 years at the 2006- 2008 peak and rented and it has been rewarding.
You booty pumpers on the board must be thrilled about Barry “Dilly” Bar coming out.
And not in his glamorous bride…ahem….beard.
Boomer ~ 10:23,
Yeah, Dark Phoenix is right. You will be there with the Collection Agencies that harasses families of recently deceased. You better go dark in your public information and uses multiple out of state corporations addresses and generally watch your back, as people will take it very personal and will come out after you.
BTW this is the way that Bret Schundler as Jersey City mayor got rid of a large chunk of the working class homeowners paving the way for gentrification. The McCann machine that ran Jersey City up to that election with 18 democrats and 1 republican – Schundler winning. Routinely ignored people not paying their taxes as part of local politics. Jersey City always had a very high tax rate. When Schundler took over he had massive Tax Lien sale where a lot of the usual Real Estate parasites came to feast. There were a few incidents related to it with indians and hasidics that took ownership of properties.
RentLord ~ 10:50am
There are a bunch of reasons. The reactionary nationalist clericalist right wing cultural revolutionaries (Project 2025) believe that if you change culture, you change politics. So if you force the Ivies to kill of Free Thinking for a social dogma that promotes the Alex Keatons, you will develop a future generation of Alex Keaton. It does not work. These revolutionaries like all revolutionaries have drank their own kool-aid. Think 100+ yrs ago with Prohibitions bringing forth a clean christian society. All it did is make local ethnic gangs into national crime syndicates. The antisemitism is a smoke screen to take control, as that crowd is the most antisemitic around.
The overall idea of social conservatism is to minimize the amount of people that are highly educated critical thinkers and ensure that they follow a certain dogma and are part of a “click”, you will see this clearly in latin america.
True free thinkers egalitarians are an anathema to them. What happened after WW2 where the GI bill educated and gave critical thinking skills to a large chunk of the population that gave us the middle class, was a horrid aberration in their eyes.
Look up Peter Turchin. He’s an academic where he points to large amount of highly educated elites creates social instability because increase inter-elite competition leading to creation of counter-elites that take the system down. A lot of what supports OrangeTurd is based on his argument. MAGA is a revolts of other elites (Bannon, Miller, Vought,etc) that where ignored by the present elites.
Years ago, there was a book that brought up a similar point with the Cuban revolution and Castro. From ~1933-44- 1st Batista dictatorship. 1944-52 Cuban democracy where higher level education was promoted leading to a large production of highly educated people that by 1951 could not find proper employment and leading to social protest and movements. Castro was a lawyer that failed economically in his own office. Leading him to seek change.
You can see this pattern in Latin America. The powers that be minimize the quality and quantity of education available to their citizens. Thus ensuring a continuing status-quo.

Thanks! I actually have great neighbors and it’s one helluva home. No doubt the nicest place that I have lived in. We’ll be renters again. Mortgage currently in $3600 a month. Rent in NorCal will be twice that. Buying? we’d be looking at $11k a month. So there is that.

Department of Defense: In February 2025, the Pentagon reported that approximately 4,240 service members, representing about 0.2% of the total force, have a diagnosis of gender dysphoria. WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed President Donald Trump to implement his ban on transgender people serving in the military.
The justices granted an emergency request from the Trump administration to lift a nationwide injunction blocking the policy while litigation continues.
The court’s brief order noted that the three liberal justices dissented.
The decision is a loss for the seven individual transgender service members, led by lead plaintiff Emily Shilling, a Navy commander, who had sued to block it.
Oh nooooooes.
8 Years in our place. Lot’s memories, but I am looking forward to some new sights and sounds. Returning to a “City” rather than LA which is like a massive sprawling suburb. I like SoCal weather, but we are paying into a State insurance program now which booted our yearly cost by $5k based on fire risk. They redrew the burn zones. Ugh. Have really enjoyed exploring the area, from the canyons of Malibu to the beaches of the central coast. A long, long way from Jersey that is for sure.

I bet you can find some cool stuff at thrift stores and estate sales in NorCal.
You are not wrong. My daughter (GenZ) is really into thrifting. I also generally buy on eBay. We also like MidCentury and Danish furniture. The one issue is that we are going from 2600 sq ft to something like 1600 square feet (rental) and none of these places have basements or attics. At this point I have a garage full of stuff to get rid of just to make the journey north. I have a penchant for “old” stuff. A 23 year-old BMW, vintage bicycles…instruments, amps. We’ve been donating a lot lately just to make the journey a little more managable.
BTW the soCal estate sales are nuts. Lot’s a dead celebs or show biz folks selling their memorabilia and artifacts. Fascinating stuff if you like that type of thing. I recently picked up a large framed picture of Sinatra in Hoboken from a Capitol Records release of his material.
At this point it’s just me and my 14 year-old Basset hound in the house. My wife went up to Palo Alto already and is immersed in her job. She’s working 9 hour days while I continue to work down here and take care of my old boy. It’s bittersweet. He’s great company and the last of four dogs that we had when we moved here. We rescue dogs, my wife and I. The old guy doesn’t leave my side and he I have epic naps. We honestly don’t deserve dogs. They are my passion.
No One 3:30, do you know who chi voted for? If it is not Trump, I will apologize.
I bet there’s great celebrity stuff at estate sales in socal.
Yeah, SoCal is a trip. Celebrity culture seems dusty and antiquated. A lot of very old celebs shuffling around. Many boomer era stars are dying. The “young” stars lack the talent and glamour of the old school. The film industry is dying and as a result Hollywood is a mess right now. Lot’s of unemployed creatives and starving artists.
Iran? A religious cult leader, attack on universities, destruction of science, due process gone, etc, etc

India goes to war, this is going to be interesting for geopolitics. Suppose you could call this escalation of a Cold War that’s been going on for just about forever. Arguable whether or not the 2019 response was more or less significant.
Seven Pakistani army soldiers have been killed when their vehicle was targeted by an improvised explosive device in the southwestern province of Balochistan, Pakistan’s military says, blaming India for the attack amid rising tensions.
Pakistan’s military said members of the Baloch Liberation Army (BLA) armed group targeted the vehicle carrying the soldiers in the province bordering Iran and Afghanistan on Tuesday.
Air traffic controllers walk off the job at Newark. Place is a shit show
so much for those Indian iPhones.
India-Pakistan war is great for both Modi and Sharif. It will boost them both domestically. China would love to continue its supplies to Pakistan and US happy to send F-150s to India. Russia is also a long ally of India. Saudi Arabia will support Pakistan monetarily.
Seems like a win for all…. Except the ordinary folks on the ground.
Screw your iPhone Phoenix!

Pakistan takes down 5 Indian jets.
Uh oh
Pakistan is flying The Chengdu J-10 “Vigorous Dragon” a Chinese fighter, if it was air to air combat well then short French made Dassault, Rafale jets they suck…
India is going to want F-35 jets and quick…you cannot shoot down what you cannot see.
News also said some Pakistan JF-17 aircraft shot down as well more Chinese made fighters..
If they are fighting air to air it most likely missiles fired more than 30 miles away..the pilots aren’t top gun flying close air to air dog fighting it’s more of a video game at 30 miles or more distance.
We are going to learn quickly what these Chinese fighters are capable of.
9:13, you will never hear that on Indian media.

Cops in England are going to be busy breaking up the mob fights.
This should keep the Chinese from being unemployed. I guess if America doesn’t want their coffee makers, they can just make these fighter jets.
knowing China, they started production three hours ago. They’re not lazy like Americans are.
China is reportedly in talks with Pakistan for Islamabad to procure 40 advanced stealth fighter jets from Beijing. The J-35A is China’s most advanced military aircraft.
China will deliver all 40 stealth fighter jest in less than two years. China’s entire defence industry is already set up for mass production as it does not depend on any other country for any part of the aircraft.
