"Shifting Real Estate Commission Rules: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know"

Originally Published 1 year ago — by Fortune

The National Association of Realtors has agreed to change its rules regarding broker commissions, potentially shifting the cost of hiring an agent to homebuyers. This could lead to more price competition for agents' services and lower costs for sellers, but may also pose challenges for buyers. The proposed changes aim to address inflated agent commissions and increase transparency in the real estate marketplace. Sellers could save on commissions, but may still face pressure to cover buyer-agent commissions. The industry may see shifts in business models and buyer behavior as a result of these changes.

Alibaba's Overhaul and Splitting Up Raise Concerns and Hope for Investors.

Originally Published 2 years ago — by CNBC

Alibaba Group has reorganized and split into six units to become more "nimble" with market changes, according to CEO Daniel Zhang. The move is seen as a sign of Beijing softening its regulatory crackdown on technology firms. The company's board will continue to have control over its entities, and Alibaba will ultimately determine which entities to maintain control over. Separating Alibaba's entities would allow it to determine the performance of each business, said CFO Tony Xu. CreditSights maintained its "outperform" recommendation on Alibaba after it announced its overhaul plans, adding that the plans won't have much of an impact on the company's credit.
