At the same time, I did not anticipate the NAR opting to take up the race war against its own membership. So in both of those ways, my plans are jammed: I don&#8217;t want to grow just to feed cannibals, and I desperately want to get shed of the NAR.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the first quarter has been good to me, and the whole year is shaping up nice. I&#8217;m told there are more Realtors than listings right now, but it is a very pleasant world for a broker with a client base \u2013 and listing houses for sale has never been easier than it is right now.<\/p>\n<p>The supply side is my long-term future, and the Southwest exodus will continue as before, after the riot-borne exodus has abated. &#8220;Affordable, move-in-ready luxury&#8221; \u2013 that&#8217;s every relo&#8217;s dream, easy to sell from afar.<\/p>\n<p>For the short-run, I&#8217;m not so sure.
