🏡✨ The new NAR settlement rules are shaking up real estate in a good way! Here’s why they’re awesome: 1. More Transparency🕵️♂️🔍: Buyers and sellers get a clearer picture of how much agents are being paid. No more hidden fees or surprise costs—everyone knows what’s up! 2. Negotiation Power💪🤝: Both sides have more say in how much brokers get paid. Whether you’re buying or selling, we can negotiate the best deal that works for you! 3. Fair Play for All🎯⚖️: The rules make sure everyone’s on a level playing field. With compensation being discussed directly, it’s all about making fair deals that benefit everyone involved. 4. Strengthened Relationships🏠💼: Agents will now have more meaningful conversations with clients about their value, leading to stronger, trust-based relationships. Have questions about how this impacts you in Arizona? Let’s talk! 📞

Our Real Estate group is something.

Andrew Esposito '16, founder and principal at Apex Development Group, is this month's Real Estate Alumni Spotlight. Paving an untraditional path to real estate law, Andrew looks forward to the challenges and opportunities each day brings: "I absolutely love what I do, which I don’t think everyone is fortunate enough to say. It’s one of the key reasons I bounced around a bit and tried different things before settling into a career path. I want to love what I do for a living."

love this. this only occurred to me in late 2022 when people like Brian Chesky and Elon started explicitly talking about doing what needs to be done without worrying about what the business books say about management. particularly i felt, many times, that most books that i read about management (especially The Making of a Manager) were irrelevant to the journey of a founder. I also felt like any person who has a “startup mentor/advisor” title somewhere on their linkedin but haven’t built a tech startup before is full of crap, because they were repeating all the default management 101 advice that breaks under the pressure of a startup that can still die. most management advice assumes your company never dies, because they’re by high paid managers at big corporations. and if they are written by big tech managers, they were written before the layoffs. how i’ve operated LL for the first 18 months and the following 24 months are completely different and the difference comes from this culture change and me feeling comfortable doing what my gut says is right instead of what the temporary culture of the past decade said was right

Founder Mode by Paul Graham: "There are as far as I know no books specifically about founder mode. Business schools don't know it exists. All we have so far are the experiments of individual founders who've been figuring it out for themselves. But now that we know what we're looking for, we can search for it. I hope in a few years founder mode will be as well understood as manager mode. We can already guess at some of the ways it will differ." #YCombinator #FounderMode #ScaleUps

Founder Mode Vs. Manager Mode What's the difference between "founder mode" and "manager mode" when it comes to running a company? This question has become increasingly important as more founders like Brian Chesky share their experiences.  In "founder mode," leaders stay closely involved with their teams and decisions, leveraging their unique instincts and a hands-on approach to guide the company’s growth. In contrast, "manager mode" often involves delegating responsibilities and maintaining distance, a strategy that might work for established companies but can be detrimental to the dynamic, evolving nature of startups. Are you interested in learning more about the unique challenges and opportunities in "founder mode"? Join the conversation and share your experiences. Dive deep into "Founder Mode" as explored by Paul Graham #founders #foundermode

Looking forward to contributing to the "Quality of Life" discussion. I just hope I wasn't asked to be on the panel to be an example of how NOT to achieve Quality of Life. 😂 #intellectualproperty #trademark #widermanmalek #primerus

Blessing M Modiba. Remember the topic for your "High School Debate Initiative" around Government must incentivize private investment in underserved areas? Sandton and Alexandra are the epitome of spatial disparities in South Africa that could necessitate the government to consider incentivizing private investment spending in marginalized areas. Despite their geographical proximity, there still exists a huge gap in economic prosperity, crime & socio-economic conditions; and infrastructure development between Sandton and Alexandra. Most of the spatial disparities in South Africa are a result of the apartheid system, however, different government administrations have come in and out since the dawn of democracy with promises to address this injustice but to date, little has been done to see this desired reality come into being. Questions to ponder: What is the real cause of the slow progress if any, we have seen in addressing this? Should the government start to seriously consider PPPs for this cause? If so, to what extent should private investment be involved beyond tendering and what would this PPP look like? Maybe furthermore, is SA ready for a smart city if it cannot solve its relatively less complex current spatial disparities problems?
