Can You Share Another Agent’s Listing?

In the fast-paced world of real estate marketing, it’s tempting to share eye-catching listings on social media, your website, or email campaigns. A beautiful home with great photos can generate quick interest and help you attract potential buyers. However, before you hit “post” or “share” on another agent’s listing, there’s one critical rule you must follow: always get permission. Why Permission Matters Listings in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) belong to the listing brokerage, not the individual agent or the general public. The listing agreement gives the listing broker specific rights to market the property, including control over photos, [...]

Property Manager License Delayed until 2027

Property Manager License delayed until 2027 After the latest legislative session, we have some updates on the new Utah property manager license that was originally put in law in 2025. The legislature created a property manager license in 2025, but immediate questions and concerns had them delay their original goal date to 2026, and they made more updates in a special session in August. Now in 2026, the legislature made a few more updates, which we believe are now going to be final. At least for now. Which means that the Division of Real Estate and the Real Estate [...]

Paid Referrals Cannot be Objective

Receiving a referral fee has been psychologically proven to remove your ability to give fair advice. The Research, Study from 2010 In a 2010 study by the Baylor College of Medicine, they did an experiment where people were given the opportunity to view abstract art, where which the value is very subjective, the opportunity to value different art pieces, and they were told that they would be sponsored by a certain art gallery. And it was found that those who were sponsored by the art gallery showed increased psychological preference for the art provided by that gallery above and [...]

Why Real Estate Brokers Earn More Than Agents: Unpacking the Income Gap

In the dynamic world of real estate, where properties change hands and fortunes are made, two key players often stand out: the real estate agent and the real estate broker. At first glance, their roles might seem similar—both facilitate buying, selling, and renting properties. However, a closer look reveals a significant disparity in their earning potential. Real estate brokers typically outpace agents in income, often by substantial margins. According to industry data from sources like the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the median gross income for brokers can exceed $100,000 annually, while agents hover around $50,000 to $70,000. But why [...]

Should a real estate listing agent show the home to buyers that have an agent?

I'm representing a seller selling their house. The buyer put us under contract so we are going through the inspection process. Turns out that the seller agent is out of town this week, it's a holiday week yesterday, and so they're not able to meet one of the handymen here to visit the house and look it over. Should a listing agent give a garage code to a handyman? And so they asked if they could use a garage code maybe to get in and look at the house. The house is vacant so nobody is living here at [...]

Building Inspectors in Utah Now Need a License

As of January 1st, Utah has a new law in place that says that property inspectors for residential or commercial, they need to have a property inspector license now. And they do have a little bit of a grace period though.  So if you haven't got your license yet, there's still a chance to get that done in the next little while. Funny Story It's funny, I had someone call me a couple years ago and they were so angry and I had to calm them down a little bit just to hear what they were angry about. And [...]

Want to Give a Referral, and Want to do it Ethically?

When we refer a business to another person and suggest that they use a product or a service or another service provider like another real estate agent, we usually call this a referral. And this is based on the idea that if someone I know trusts this person, then I can trust this person. It's all about building a trust factor in order to feel like the business is going to do for me the service that I want at the quality that I want them to do it at. Giving Referrals, and Trust And so generally, when we [...]
