The real estate industry may have just turned itself upside down. The National Association of Realtors announced a legal settlement today that would eliminate agents' standard 6% commission.

Why it matters: "It will absolutely transform the real estate industry," Max Besbris, an associate professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, told the N.Y. Times.

✄ What's next: If the settlement wins final approval, real estate agents would be able to compete for business by taking smaller commissions — leaving more money in sellers' pockets and boosting online brokerages in the process.

  • Lower commissions could lead to lower prices — good news for buyers.

🤔 The other side: There may be a catch for buyers on a tight budget.

  • Right now, sellers' agents split their 6% commission with buyers' agents — buyers basically get an agent for free. But as commissions fall, more buyers will have to pay out-of-pocket for someone to help them find a home, Charlotte real estate agent Jeff Clay told Axios' Brianna Crane.

Fani Willis won her battle: A judge ruled today that she can remain in charge of prosecuting former President Trump in Georgia, as long as special prosecutor Nathan Wade stepped down — which he has now done.

  • But Trump is winning the war: Although the evidence surrounding Willis' romantic relationship with another prosecutor didn't get her kicked off Trump's case, "an odor of mendacity remains," the judge wrote.

🐢 What's next: The whole ordeal has already delayed the case.

  • Trump's lawyers have successfully delayed his Jan. 6 trial, most likely until after the election. It's not clear when the trial over his handling of classified documents will start. Prosecutors in his New York hush-money case have agreed to a potential delay.

Bitcoin’s All Time High Is Just the Beginning

Manward Financial Digest
 

I have a message for you from James Altucher at Paradigm Press. I thought you may be interested in what he recently told his readers...

Bitcoin's All Time High Is
Just the Beginning

Dear Reader,

Bitcoin has officially hit a new all-time high.

But if you think you're too late…

Think again.

According to my research…

This bull market is not even halfway over.

In fact, it's just getting started.

This video explains everything.

In it, I share why I expect Bitcoin to double in price by next year.

I also explain why, despite this, I don't own any Bitcoin.

That's right…

In fact, there are at least 10 investments that I like even better.

I identified them using a special strategy that already helped me turn $25,000 into $1 million in four years.

But the way things are going, I expect some investors will see gains like this by the end of next year.

I name all 10 investments in a secret report.

You're not too late.

But you absolutely must watch this video before April 22.

On that date, a key event that has driven EACH of Bitcoin's biggest price hikes is set to repeat.

When that happens, I'm afraid we'll never see another opportunity like this again.

This could be your last chance.

Get the full details here before it's too late.

To your good fortune,
