Possible the text on their gotcha board says "row 1" (number) not "row I" (letter) but it doesn't matter because the Atlanta Hawks' area has neither in section 109. The U. of Maryland arena, where Jack Smith _actually_ was that day, does indeed have a Row 1 in section 109, of course.

Remember when mortgage rates shot up in 2022 and all the used home salesmen were saying "marry the house, date the rate" as if it was a given that rates would go back down in just a year or two? LOL. www.freddiemac.com/pmms
Freddie Mac chart of historic home mortgage rates from late 2021 through the present, showing a climb in the 30-year from just under 3% to over 7% by late 2022, and sustained rates over 6% since then. Currently the 30-year rate is 7.03%

AMC Theatres has an interesting concept of what "50% off" means. 🤦
screenshot showing a banner that says "Your 50% off Tickets on Tuesdays & Wednesdays discount will be shown in Order Details"

Then in the Order Details section it shows a discount of $5.85 on a ticket price of $19.59, which is in fact not 50% off, but only 30% off.

Compass CEO Robert Reffkin openly bragging on LinkedIn about how his company hides bad things about homes for sale so unsuspecting homebuyers will pay more. Gross. #realestate lnkd.in/p/g8hF-4v6
LinkedIn post by Compass CEO Robert Reffkin:

For years, Zillow has led sellers to believe that getting their home on Zillow.com was important to sell their home. But new research by our Chief Data Officer and Chief Economist shared earlier this week analyzing over 300,000 homes revealed: homes on Zillow sold for 1.3% less. We call this loss the “Zillow Tax.”

When Zillow.com displays negative insights on your home like days on market, price cut history, algorithmic Zestimates less than the home’s value, climate risk, flood risk, and fire risk (all unofficial risk scores), money gets left on the table.

The “Zillow Tax” isn't inevitable. Sellers have a choice. By choosing a phased marketing strategy, sellers can test price, receive feedback, build buyer interest and create buyer urgency before the days on market clock starts to reduce risk.

I encourage every real estate professional to share this with their clients in listing presentations and on social media.

Trump signals deal to end Iran war may be imminent, agrees to "cancel the attack"
By Kierra Frazier


President Trump said Saturday that the United States has agreed to "cancel the attack" on Iran after signaling a peace deal to end the war could be imminent.

"We have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters [sic] of a deal has been agreed to," Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post. "This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat." NBC4 Washington

Trump says Mideast allies have reached outlines of deal to end Iran war, U.S. to stop new strikes

He added that Israel has agreed to join the U.S. in the commitment to try to complete the agreement with Iran that would bring about an end to the war.
