Le Real Madrid voit encore une fois la trêve internationale lui jouer un mauvais tour. Après quelques alertes sans gravité ces derniers jours, c’est Eder Militao qui est touché. Le défenseur s’est blessé ce mardi lors du match amical entre le Brésil et la Tunisie, disputé à Lille. Dès la 2e minute, Militao a ressenti […]

La Slovénie a adopté la « loi Šutar », une loi de sécurité controversée qui donne plus de pouvoir à la police. Elle porte le nom d'Aleš Šutar, tué mi-octobre par un homme d'origine rom. Un drame qui avait provoqué dans le pays un débat sur la sécurité. Mais certains s'inquiètent d'une instrumentalisation possible contre la communauté rom. - Articles / Une - Diaporama - En premier, Politique, Populations, minorités et migrations, Défense, police et justice, Courrier des Balkans, Roms Balkans, Slovénie, Une - Diaporama

The Portland Trail Blazers and Phoenix Suns are facing off in a late-Tuesday game. With both teams hovering around .500 (Portland 6-7, Phoenix 8-6), the game seems semi-important.

Some sellers choose to list their homes for sale by owner rather than using a traditional real-estate agent.Marco Bello/REUTERSA legal ruling about how real-estate agents are paid has opened new possibilities in real estate.Home sellers have more flexibility in how and how much they pay their agents and buyers' agents.These startups promise to save home sellers money compared to the traditional commission structure.In 2024, a landmark court decision rocked the real estate world.The National Association of Realtors, which represents 1.5 million agents nationwide, settled multiple class-action lawsuits over claims that its practices unfairly drove up commissions for both homebuyers and sellers.As a result, NAR created new rules that give sellers more flexibility in how they pay their agents. Instead of home sellers paying the standard 5% or 6% of a home's purchase price — which pays their agent, who in turn passes along half to the buyer's broker — sellers now have more options that could reduce those costs. Also as a result of the settlement, buyers may be more likely to have to cover their broker's fee themselves.In reality, not much has changed so far. Many real estate brokerages have found workarounds to ensure their agents keep getting the highest commissions. Only 6% of sellers listed their homes for sale by owner, and 86% of homebuyers still used an agent, NAR found, according to 2024 NAR data.Startups have long tried to challenge the traditional model of buying and selling homes and its reliance on real estate agents. The court settlement gives their missions new relevance.For example, a newly launched online marketplace called Galleon allows sellers to list their homes for sale by owner.Listwise, meanwhile, allows sellers to put out a call for their dream agent, including the level of experience they desire and their ideal commission structure. Agents then bid for the opportunity to sell the home, and the seller has the option to choose one offering lower fees.Below are eight startups, listed in alphabetical order, that are trying to save home sellers money by shaking up the role and pay of the traditional real estate agent.Dan Latu contributed to a previous version of this article.BeycomeNico Jodin, founder of Beycome.Courtesy of Nico Jodin.Beycome aims to be a one-stop shop for homebuyers and sellers who prefer not to use real estate agents.Founder Nico Jodin started Beycome in 2020 after having a rough experience buying a home in Miami. He wanted his company to focus on the people at the center of the transactions."We didn't develop our technology for real estate agents," Jodin told Business Insider. "We didn't develop our technology for brokers. It's for you."Beycome has helped close on over 18,000 homes and has saved users $212 million in commissions and fees, according to Jodin. Buyers using Beycome can expect the company to act as a broker during transactions. While they will collect the commission fee from the seller, they credit the buyer after taking 1%."You can use this credit to cover your closing costs, or you can use this money to buy interest points on your mortgage to reduce the cost of your mortgage," Jodin said. "It is really money that we credit to you, and you do what's better for you."GalleonAmanda Orson, CEO and founder of Galleon.Courtesy of Amanda OrsonThink Craigslist, but for homes — that's the idea behind Galleon.Galleon is an off-market, for-sale-by-owner residential marketplace that lets homeowners name their prices to see if any buyers bite."We believe that there should be a free and open consumer-led marketplace," Amanda Orson, the CEO and founder of Galleon, told BI.While similar to platforms like Zillow and Redfin, Galleon removes brokers and agents entirely — a move the company said can save sellers $30,000 or more, presuming a typical 6% commission.Galleon doesn't post…
