Subjects

Abstract

Realtors are highly valued experts in the real estate industry, providing essential services to both buyers and sellers. Despite the availability of alternative options, such as selling homes without an agent or using low-cost alternatives, many people still choose to work with Realtors due to their expertise in pricing, staging, marketing, and negotiating. Commissions are negotiable, and while some may argue that the customary 5% to 6% commission is high, it is a fee that many buyers and sellers are willing to pay because they believe it is worth it. Realtors play a crucial role in complex property transactions, providing round-the-clock support and guidance that is difficult for most individuals to navigate on their own. The National Association of Realtors' settlement aims to improve the industry by ensuring that agents have proper training and experience, benefiting all parties involved.

Abstract

A trade provision known as the de minimis provision is allowing an increasing number of packages to enter the U.S. with little scrutiny or duty fees. E-commerce companies like Temu and Shein have been taking advantage of this provision, which critics argue is a loophole that allows companies to avoid tariffs and import goods made with forced labor. In fiscal year 2024 alone, at least 485 million packages have entered the U.S. under this provision. Lawmakers are calling for action to address this issue, while some businesses see the de minimis provision as beneficial for economic competitiveness. [Extracted from the article]
