This disclosure of the relationship the agent has with you or another party must be made in writing at the time of your first personal meeting to discuss a specific property or properties.

  • Fixed Commissions and Social Waste in the Real Estate Industry
    Can Free Entry Be Inefficient? Fixed Commissions and Social Waste in the Real Estate Industry Chang-Tai Hsieh Princeton University and National Bureau of Economic Research Enrico Moretti University of California, Los Angeles and National Bureau of Economic Research Real estate agents typically charge a 6 percent commission, regardless of the price of the house sold. As a consequence, the commission fee from selling a house will differ dramatically across cities depending on the average price of housing, although the effort necessary to match buyers and sellers may not be that different. We use a simple economic model to show that if barriers to entry are low, the entry of real estate agents in cities with high housing prices is socially in- efficient. Consistent with our model, we find that when the average price of land in a city increases, (1) the fraction of real estate brokers in a city increases, (2) the productivity of an average real estate agent (houses sold per hour worked) falls, and (3) the real wage of a typical real estate agent remains unchanged. We cannot completely rule out the alternative explanation that these results reflect unmeasured dif- ferences in the quality of broker services. However, we present evi- dence that as the average price of housing in a city increases, there is only a small increase in the amount of time a buyer spends searching We thank Ben Bernanke, David Card, Angus Deaton, Harold Demsetz, William Easterly, Ray Fisman, Gene Grossman, Karla Hoff, Peter Klenow, Phillip Leslie, Steve Levitt, Darren Lubotsky, Chris Redfearn, Scott Susin, John Wallis, and a referee for useful comments.

    A Guide to Conservation Easements for the Real Estate Industry Berkeley County Farmland Protection Board February 2021 Berkeley County Farmland Protection Board PO Box 1243, Martinsburg, WV 25402 (mail) 229 E. Martin Street, Suite 3, Martinsburg WV 25401 (office) (304) 260-3770 Email: [email protected] Web: Berkeley.wvfp.org About this Guide This document explores the basics of conservation easements, including many of the restrictions an easement places on real property. The intended audience is real estate professionals and lawyers who oversee land sales. Because conservation easements can be complex, involve multiple parties with perpetual interests in the land, and frequently interact with US income tax law, this guide can only provide an overview of an easement. It is strongly recommended that parties involved in the sale or purchase of a conservation easement first contact the Berkeley County Farmland Protection Board for specific information about the easement. Please note that this document does not provide specific legal or tax advice. Vested parties should always seek legal and financial advice from a qualified professional.

ACCOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO DEVELOPERS OF CONDOMINIUM PROJECTS MICHAEL A. CONWAY* INTRODUCTION Interest in the concept of condominium ownership in the United States has been rapidly increasing in recent years. This article discusses accounting considerations relating to profit recognition by developers and sellers of condominium projects. It also touches briefly on the historical development of the condominium concept, some of the distinctions between condominiums and cooperatives, and the dif- ferences between fee and leasehold condominiums. While the discus- sions in this article are directed primarily towards condominiums, many of the principles involved are also applicable to cooperatives. References made to legal requirements are for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as providing guidance on legal matters. CONCEPT A condominium is a form of ownership that contemplates more than a casual relationship with other owners. An individual is deeded his own homestead along with an undivided interest in common areas and facilities which are jointly controlled with other owners. Common areas may include swimming pools, sauna baths, golf courses, and other amenities.
