NVR President still critical of SB151 during IndyMatters podcast
|
|
| |
 Nevada REALTORS® 2019 President Keith Lynam continues to reiterate the association's message on SB151, which was passed by the Nevada Legislature and signed in law by the Governor earlier this year. Lynam was a guest on the IndyMatters podcast, hosted by the Nevada Independent, earlier this week.
SB151 has been heralded by proponents as a landmark tenants rights bill for working families across Nevada. NVR worked with those proponents throughout much of the session until the late changes were added that REALTORS® were never consulted on. NVR stressed those would have negative impacts on tenants in the form of higher security deposits and more stringent timelines in leases. There are reports across the state of these predictions already coming to fruition.
"The message is, 'we told you so,'" Lynam said on the podcast. "We told them that security deposits were going to go up. That harms the Nevada tenant. We told them that timelines were going to get tightened [for] everyone. That harms the Nevada tenant. We told them that when you put these restrictions on a Nevada homeowner, you are going to lessen the likelihood that they're going to keep their home on the market for rent. They're just going to sell it."

GLOBAL: Creating Loyalty with Foreign Clients
|
|
| |
By Tamara Tyrbouslu, NVR Global Business Committee Chair
 With the exception of a handful of countries, relationships are the foundation of business. Canada, the U.S., the U.K., Australia and New Zealand tend to be transactional when it comes to real estate and business in general. They can do business with people they don't know or don't even like for that matter as long as they can achieve their desired results. For the most part, the rest of the world expects to establish a relationship of trust first before doing business.
That said, ironically, U.S. agents will complain that their foreign prospects lack loyalty. Why is that? Another thing that makes the U.S. marketplace uncommon is that we practice exclusive agency in real estate and we agree to cooperate with other brokers with our listings. Outside of the U.S., there are very few true multiple listing agreements and most listings are non-exclusive meaning several different brokers represent the same property, at different prices, on different terms.
