Pulse is a recurring column where we ask for readers’ takes on varying topics in a weekly survey and report back with our findings.
Sometimes, no matter how important it may be, we just get tired of hearing the same thing over and over. Maybe it’s a news story that always seems to have a new angle. Maybe it’s a concept that’s in the air everywhere — and ends up being talked to death. Maybe it’s a strategy that you’ve tried a dozen times; it works for everyone else, but not for you.

We wanted to know: What real estate-related concept are you sick of hearing about? Maybe it’s something newsy, like commission lawsuits, Clear Cooperation or the latest political wrangling. Maybe it’s a cliche like “The New Normal” or “location, location, location.” Maybe it’s simply anything to do with NAR, Donald Trump or some other never-ending topic of conversation. What do you need a break from? Here are your answers:
- National Association of Realtors (multiple): How great NAR is, and how they are the only ones who could save us; how NAR did not fight back; three-way agreement
- Politics (multiple): Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI); politically motivated issues like DEI (pro or con), climate change (pro or con), anti-vaccine (or pro-vaccine). Just want issues directly related to business
- Commission lawsuits/settlement (multiple): Either you get it by now or you don’t
- Clear Cooperation Policy (multiple)
- How agents are not needed
- How clients expect agents to work for free
- 10 best ways to, 25 best ways to generate
- EXp, LPT, Real and other office gossip
- Social media marketing
