I rhought I read wrong when I read your headline but I saw that you added "paused" and it makes sense now. An indicator we should follow.

I have told many a people that when teh market is going up, it is easy for them. When the market pauses or goes down, their programs are a black hole of losing money and risk.

Common Sense!  We have a statue of him here in New Rochelle and I used to pass it often when I had flooring work in the area.

No, I wasn't aware of their pause.  I hope this helps all the agents out there.

I hadn't heard. Thanks for the news. I do think many of the new "models" will go away in tough times. There's a reason traditional real estate arrived where it's at after decades - because it works the best over the years with the ups and downs of the market.

Thomas,

Respectfully, this is no time to celebrate that a competing business is suffering the same hardship as we and the rest of the country.

I don't believe your quote is apt under these circumstances.

I think I heard the same about the others as well, but I am sure the reality of it is that they are just paused, as we all are during this time.
