    Episode 112: What is the FARE Act? My Thoughts on the Fairness in Apartment Rentals Act to Ban Brokers Fee s

    I’m jumping on to quickly discuss my thoughts on the FARE Act, AKA the Fairness in Apartment Rentals Act. Who does it help? How does the bill affect the overall market? How does this impact mom-and-pop shop landlords? Does this bill positively impact the tenant community overall? Or just a small segment of renters?   According to the bill’s sponsor, the New York City Council is poised to pass a law that would allow most tenants to avoid paying thousands of dollars in broker fees when renting a home. The proposed measure, which the Council could vote on as soon as Nov. 13, would shift broker fees to the party that hires the broker, which is nearly always the landlord. The Fairness in Apartment Rental Expenses, or FARE, Act now has 33 sponsors, seven more than the majority needed to pass in the 51-member Legislature.  Please listen to the full episode for a quick deep dive into this issue!

    Episode 109: Miami Market Insider Levi Meyer on Compass Miami, Brickell Real Estate, & Condo HOA Rules

    One of our founding agents at Compass Miami, Levi Meyer, is back on the pod to give us the latest on the Miami market, updates on developments in Brickell, and new HOA and Condominium Board regulations. A few fun facts about Levi: He’s a fifth-generation Floridian and a longtime Coral Gables resident. He’s one of 9 siblings, an Israeli military vet, and he grew up attending Rabbinate school. Before he was selling Miami’s most prestigious homes, Levi was in the business of selling arms and ammunition (yes, you read that right). Levi is also deeply involved in his community. He serves on the boards of several charities, including United Hatzalah and The Friendship Circle of Greater Miami, and he’s the President and Chairman of the Chabad of Coconut Grove. He lives in Coral Gables with his amazing wife Lauren and their two beautiful kids, Benjamin and Charlotte. While Levi’s real estate achievements are impressive—he’s ranked in the top 1% in our industry—what’s even more special is our friendship. He’s one of my oldest friends at Compass, he officiated my wedding, and I’m lucky to have a guy like Levi in my life.
