\u201cLearn to sell or go to hell: That’s what downturns are\u00a0for.\u201d<\/p><\/div>The headline is the extent of my contribution to election news this morning \u2013 aside from the links below. I’m eager to see how matters play out.<\/p>\n

I have further thoughts on the NAR business, but I’ll lay those aside for a separate post. Meanwhile, Glenn Kelman taught me long ago to listen for the pain, when Realty.bot executives talk to the media or to the public.<\/p>\n

Kelman is Cs, and Redfin built its entire business around the Cautious temperament. His lamentations and rejoicings over this piddly-shit NAR “settlement” result from his failures to appeal to a Cautious clientele \u2013 the only people who care how Buyer’s Agents get paid.<\/p>\n

Here’s worse news for Kelman and all the Realty.bot WannaBrokers \u2013 mostly Ci, so even less<\/em> connected to real people: No rainmakers, no rain.<\/p>\n

Housing Wire:<\/strong> NAR launches interactive training to combat housing discrimination.<\/a> Totally not sick-making. The real estate licensing laws are a huge hurdle for poor communities trying to engender their own middle class. Being ‘diasporatized’ by fair-housing interventions doesn’t help, either. An NAR that cared about black-, brown- and red-skinned lives would get the hell out of the way. Failing that, it would offer Grasshopper-to-Ant classes everywhere, all the time. Take note: Lip service is all you’ll ever get from these goons. Why would they want anything to change?<\/p>\n

Redfin:<\/strong> Housing Market Update: Homebuying Picks Up After Election Week, Pending Sales Up 29% From 2019.<\/a> Not even gonna pick on \u2019em.<\/p>\n

Joel Kotkin:<\/strong> Governor Preen: California\u2019s Gavin Newsom presides with aristocratic hauteur over a state in crisis.<\/a><\/p>\n

Glenn Reynolds:<\/strong> Why the SpaceX \u2018ferry\u2019 just truly launched a new Space Age.<\/a><\/p>\n

American Greatness:<\/strong> Big Tech Corporate Leftists at WordPress Suppress Critical Public Watchdog.<\/a><\/p>\n

John Daniel Davidson:<\/strong> Your Political Leaders Hate You And Think You\u2019re Stupid.<\/a><\/p>\n

American Spectator:<\/strong> What We Must Believe to Believe Biden Won.<\/a><\/p>\n

Reuters:<\/strong> Why Republican voters say there\u2019s \u2018no way in hell\u2019 Trump lost.<\/a><\/p>\n
