The buyers agent commission means the buyer agent splits their commission with the buyer as an incentive to work with them. Agent fees are negotiable but it is honestly only done by agents who need more clients as essentially a promotional thing to build their client list. Any established agent will politely say "Thank you for the opportunity to do business but I have a minimum commission which does not include a rebate. If you would like to work without the rebate please let me know"

Essentially if the buyers agent commission is 2% paid by the seller on a 300k house, then the buyers agent gets 6k and they could offer to only take 1.5% and rebate 0.5% back to the buyer giving the buyer $1,500 before taking home $4,500 (minus brokerage agreements)

End of the day this guy is saying "I've done all the searching work so give me a discount" but my agent willing to work with him will probably say "sign a 6 month contract with me to be your exclusive agent. You will get 0.5% back on this property only and I will get the full commission on any future offer in the next 6 months as I will be doing the keg work moving forward"

Sununu is not popular amount younger voters and reddit in general is more progressive. The majority of NH under 50 is represented here. Sununu has been consistently losing more and more support over the past few years

Also a 5 day old troll account from a salty MA transplant bitching about NH voters....classy haha

The whole point is without the licensing requirement if you go to a place like super cuts you probably will have let someone who hasn't studied cut your hair at some point. How do you know? If you ask do you ask every time? What about someone who is travelling how would they know? If only there was some type of way to tell people this person is competent is keeping their tools clean...because the license is not that you are good at cutting hair it is that you can cut hair without cutting the person...

There is no magic wand but discouraging people buying a third rental property out bidding the first time home owner and offering support to first time home owners would assist with the issue. Supply and demand has 2 factors. More houses fixes the low supply high demand but lowering the demand is easier than increasing supply.

Yes multifamilies being built faster than single family has cause a conflict between high demand of downsizes and first time home buyers but this is usually maintained by the group of small house owners leaving smaller houses opening up properties. The issue now is people holding onto additional homes for rent or "as investments" causing an artificial restriction in supply

I grew up on 1/4 acre as well and i have driven by this project multiple times. It is probably going to come to more of 1/8 of an acre per lot in reality. I was responding to the person saying you will not hear your neighbors (you will) and can have a garden (not really).

This whole project screams money printer with a fake "we are helping out" facade or just a poorly thought out pie in the sky with more money than thought. The location is walkable outside of winter to downtown but condos would have been a much better use of the land of they didn't want apartment buildings. These are going to be cheaply built (2 years to go from forested uneven ground to 44 units) units that will make the property owner between 100-250k per year. Surprised the city approved of the project and probably only did so because it was "adding housing" but added it in a very inefficient way.

Yeah i am saying the president cannot make that call some. Haven't been changing, honestly don't care what some troll calls me a cunt just calling it out as an ad hominem throughout your rambling statements. Honestly find it a bit funny you cheeky lad that you were so worked up your resorted to count haha 😂

Yes, Democrats around in here have been advocating, but now I'm confused as you are both saying it is Biden alone who decides then saying people went back on their word.

The whole votes not cast thing is exactly what I have been saying this whole time. The article you are commenting on is literally a NH democrate getting pissed off sticking to her word of fighting to keep NH first, then you claim they aren't doing that because they decided, then I say wait for the vote or do you know the anticipated vote split to properly call people out, to which you deflect and say it doesn't matter. I'm so confused by you and questioning how many goal posts you move while claiming you are standing still

I didn't defend this position, i said it will make less impact as the political capital lost by removing NH first is a lot less than the political capital of their opponents (primarily the republicans)

Yeah, politicians suck, but i reserve my final opinion until something actually happens or they change their stance publically. You claim Biden supported NH first but don't provide evidence and all those who did support NH first are blasting the Whitehouse for supporting SC first and not "going back on their word"

My other point in the original comment which was about republicans was simply saying the republicans can keep NH first they don't have to match SC with the Democrats. Honestly each party can do whatever they want

I would say NH having it early lead to Iowa being early but the big push over the last decade where politics = marketability is both a good thing (people paying more attention to politics) and a bad thing as people become saturated with politics.

I think it is more of a small cause at the start of the race to be first but is now a symptom of the hyper political situation we find ourselves in where "above all else we must fight to stay first so we stay relevant" because if we really cared about voting then we would have easy early voting for all. This is a political and economically driven effort not actually something that should matter as much

Yes do you know how the votes for the decision were cast? You claim these people are lying yet you openly admit to not knowing how they voted. Apparently you think a handful of people can make the decision for a body of a few hundred.

>Have I defended keeping the primary here? No I haven't you dumb cunt lmao.

Wow so civil such argument. Good ad hominem bad attempt to use strawman claim when it was not a strawman claim.

The topic at hand is you claiming Democrats lied. The when i address that specific argument (not strawman) by genuinely asking if you know how those who supported voted because they could...wait for it...be out voted 🫢 which means they wouldn't have turned against it and the same outcome could still happen.

Then i go onto the topic of NH having the first in the nation primary because as part of the argument about a vote split the question becomes would enough other Democrats be in favor of NH first or other arguments against NH first. I provide multiple reasons why those who never gave their word would push to place another state first and ask for a counter argument besides the only one there is "because we we first". All of which is relevant to your assumption that "these Democrats must have lied because someone else proposed something that is against what they said."

Ain't your bud, pal

Who is lying? Do you have the vote split? Every democrate from the northeast could support and vote for NH primary and yet that isn't enough for a majority. Also this is a proposal not the final say we are talking about here.

What reason other then "because we always are" is there to keep the first primary in NH. A state which very is not very representative of the country as a whole. What argument do you have against moving it on a national level not a "it hurts our state economy because people pay less attention to us" level? It makes more sense to have primaries in states which are more representative of the country because that is what a primary is about.

Ok, just sticking with democrats, follow me here. The Democrats we elected are fighting to keep NH first, there are more then just them who get to pick who goes first, they are possibly and most likely out numbered in the vote. No other democrate pledged to fight to keep NH first. Not sure what you don't understand here

Isn't that a symptom not a reason? Ethanol is a politic point because Iowa is first, Iowa is not first because ethanol is a political sticking point. On the grander scheme of things people that care enough about primaries to get angry over this will vote in them regardless of when they happen making it a mute point.

And people blaming their elected officials personally when their officials are out numbered by a large faction is just ridiculous to me

I literally say this is the democrats, so yes? Calling me incapable of forming an argument whiteout resorting to whatever? What does that even mean? My argument is if the choice was between a basic human right and a primary order no one over the age of 50 gives 2 shits about I'm picking supporting human rights. I don't think the first in the nation primary is really all that important for anyone other than people who like to circle jerk to their "in better because of an arbitrary order which doesn't actually impact anything" status

Yup, one party moved a voting primary, the other removed human rights....remember that

Also this is literally the elected officials from NH blasting the proposal but at the end of the day they are pair 1 of 50. Also this is the Democrats, not GOP. GOP can still keep NH first and something tells me you don't vote in the Dem primary

The inflation reduction act caps insulin at $35 a month for Medicare. You can't do a lot to reign in private business in America all at once and tell private companies they have to sell for only X dollars so Medicare and Medicaid is the first step toward progress. States are pushing for cost caps and as for the FDA while they move slow it is because these are medical products and getting something wrong is many lives. As someone who is regulated by the FDA they can be a pain in the ass but they are needed

More needs to be done but if you are calling someone out at least call them out on it correctly
