Suzanne and Paul dive into the controversial battle between major brokerages like Compass and Multiple Listing Services over exclusive listings and who controls property marketing.

• The MLS system establishes rules about when listings can be marketed and shared with other agents
• Compass is challenging these rules, arguing sellers should have more control over marketing their properties
• Pocket listings can benefit sellers who value privacy but may create unfair advantages for agents seeking to double-end deals
• Innovate Realty has grown its market share despite a 40% nationwide decrease in real estate transactions
• Potential tariffs on Chinese goods threaten to dramatically increase prices for appliances and fixtures in renovations
• Manufacturing may shift from China to India, where labor rates are significantly lower
• Successful brokerages focus on creating value for clients rather than primarily recruiting agents
• Market trends show luxury properties attracting multiple cash offers in Southern California

Ruthie's Table 4

Ruthie's Table 4

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
