Across the world real estate agents are underachieving. They're missing out all millions of dollars in commissions.

My name is Pat Hyven and in the past 27 years I've sold over 6,000 homes selling over a billion dollars in real estate volume.

My plan is to interview agents from across the world and help all agents create their destiny. Hello Rock Star Nation happy Wednesday I am excited

sighted as you can hear my strained voice I thought I was losing my voice because I had some sort of

throat cold after I jumped in the frozen lake for Special Olympics over the

weekend. Then I looked at my asthma medicine, I take a daily asthma inhaler and it was at

zero and I don't know how long it's been at zero, it's probably been a week, and I'm like, that's why.

So anyways, I'm like that's why. So anyways I'm excited to introduce this episode Tommy Sowers and

Solo Pro there has been a lot of hype about this and I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about this and there's going to be a lot

of discussion about this. I'm writing a blog right now that I'm going to post it is all about not only what does this mean for the listing side of the commission

Right, which has always been a silent side you know you could take as a

listening company X percent and co-op Y percent but I'm writing an article about

the co-op Commission, right? Because as the agent, right, as the listing

agent, we've always kind of recommended and pushed a certain co-op commission.

Co-op commission that was competitive with the marketplace's other co-op commissions.

But you've got to think about what would happen if a seller had no guidance on where to put the

co-op commission and suddenly they just started to decide, well let me put it at this dollar

amount today and then tomorrow I'll raise it by this dollar amount and on Thursday I'll raise it by this dollar mount and Friday this dollar mount.

I don't care because I have control of it.

And if I'm not getting any showings, I'll just raise it a little.

If I'm getting too many showings, I'll drop it a little. Oh, a seller will never

have control of the Co-op Commission like that? Well, it's not true.
