    Breaking Down The NAR Settlement

    Breaking Down The NAR Settlement

    When the National Association of Realtors announced it had proposed to settle a landmark antitrust suit over real estate agent commissions for $418 million, everyone had questions. The Real Deal's Deconstruct breaks down what is changing — and what is not.


    TRD reporters Sheridan Wall and Harrison Connery discuss NAR's new rule prohibiting broker compensation offers on the MLS, or multiple listing service, and what this means for agents and homebuyers going forward. Deconstruct also chatted with Michael Nourmand, who runs Los Angeles-based brokerage Nourmand & Associates, about how he thinks not much is set to change — and noted that commissions have always been negotiable.

    The Short-Seller And The REIT: Inside Arbor Realty Trust's CLOs

    For the last six months, Arbor Realty Trust has been the target of a prominent short seller, Viceroy Research, which claims that a huge chunk of its collateralized loan obligation, or CLO, portfolio is in trouble. Arbor, though it denies the short seller's numbers, said it is experiencing challenges and delinquencies are set to rise. And the company is not afraid to go after non-performing borrowers.


    Deconstruct sat down with Gabriel Bernarde, one of the individuals behind Viceroy, to chat about the reports, and then dug into Arbor's fourth-quarter earnings.

Meh

I really wanted to like this podcast, as I’m a professional in commercial real estate. Unfortunately, I often hear definitions on this show that are inaccurate and don’t think the hosts have much of a background or basic knowledge of commercial real estate. It sounds like a school project narrated by Quinn and Stacy from Daria. I recommend the Trepp Podcast if you want something with some more substance
