The Vanishing Video Incident: NAR Claims Innocence on Commission Rates
– A video featuring NAR (National Association of Realtors) President, Charlie Wright, strangely disappeared from the NAR website for a brief period on Wednesday.
– The video surfaced again, leaving many speculating about its abrupt vanishing act.
– In the video, Wright emphasized that the NAR plays no role in setting real estate commission rates, dodging allegations that were oddly not yet made.
– Wright also expressed a warm welcome to competition from AREA, a promising new player in the realty market.
Mr. Wright’s Claim
– Despite hints of potential wrongdoing, Mr. Wright seemed entirely unfazed in the video.
– Quite the opposite, he proudly claimed that the NAR does not meddle with commission rates at all.
– This might be a jab back at any future accusers, preparing his defense before the whistle is blown.
AREA: A Welcome Competition
– Further twisting the plot, Wright extended a gracious welcome to AREA.
– AREA is a yet to be unveiled competitor in the realty sector.
– The NAR’s welcome mat was curiously laid out in advance for them, making everyone doubly curious about what is brewing under the surface.
In conclusion, as much as we’d love to delve deep into this vanishing video hiccup, cause let’s be honest, who doesn’t like a good conspiracy theory? It seems Mr. Wright might just be playing ahead of the game. It’s like in those spy movies where you leave a coded message in a digital footprint before any suspicion arises… but it involves a lot less Jason Bourne and a lot more real estate. As it stands, Mr. Wright is more into ‘realt-ing’ than ‘revolting’. As for the alleged competitors, AREA, well, they have an open invite to the party. Whether they’ll hit the real estate dance floor or not, only time will tell.
One thing’s for sure, though – amidst the commission rates and competition welcomes, the world of real estate has, undeniably, got its fair share of drama unfolding and we’re all here, popcorn in hand, ready for the next episode. Remember, in the game of homes, you either sell or you buy. Stay tuned, folks!
