Commission Program Amendment To Listing Agreement: Fill & Download for Free

!!! New - Edit to address the uselessness of much of the commentary posted in replies to this answer:All right, the thread of replies to this answer is getting ridiculous and pointless with people finding all sorts of problems that I 1) are obsessed over numbers and the minutia of relatively iconsequential differences in the exact stats specified and 2) distract from point I was trying to make by posting the stats in the first place.1) the links are not landing on the pages that their URLs are pointing to, there is nothing I can do about that. Just enter the politicians’ names and activate the filters yourself if you want to check them.2) the stat info that is posted in this answer is what it was when I did the search on those politicians myself and first posted the information here. Those stats, as reported on Congress.gov | Library of Congress have changed (several times over, now) since I posted my answer. Seems the government makes regular updates to their database. Also, I am not responsible for that and it does not make my answer invalid. It just means the government has updated their own database so please quit trying to lodge accusations of misinformation or uncredibility at me/my answer for inconsistancies you may find between this answer and your current search results shown on the government website. The specific numbers in their database are going to be different because of their frequent updates to their records. Let it go.3) focusing on the exact numbers down to a variation of maybe 15% of the number shown (and that’s a very generous estimation of the tolerance we’re looking at here, usually it’s probably closer to only about 6% change over a month or two or three) is counter-productive to the conversation. The stats, regardless of what the exact value of the data points are, all of them (every set of stats for the searches for the people listed, in every point in time) reflect the same over-arching point I was getting at, than Bernie tallies outnumber every one else’s by orders of magnitude. The stats I posted show the same correlation in the spread between the candidates/their tallies in terms of the least to the greatest amount of legislation produced among the politicians concerned. Bernie’s tallies dwarf everyone else’s no matter which way you look at it.4) What these stats tell about what Sanders has done in his time in office leave out more than half of what’s he’s actually done. And the half of it missing is by far the more noteworthy half of ways in which Sanders has had far greater and more impressive of an impact on this country. It is his indiscriminate alarm sounding of government and corporate corruption happening that the citizens of the US deserve to know about and the identifying of the specific members of public office and their corporate crony counterparts that matters most when it comes to “what has he done in his 28 in office” debate. What he has done is fight for the average citizen, call attention to dirty politics, spread awareness of the corruption between the government and corporate moguls, and interrogate them all on the congressional floor, in political hearings, at political protests, legal proceedings, and so many other official public platforms. He is the line of communication between the citizens on the street who demand change and want the government and corporations to be held accountable for their activity and the actual ruling class of our population who have the power to bring about that change.And for those who question that Sanders does any of what I said in item #4 above, here are a handful of examples of the countless times where Bernie Sanders was doing exactly that:And that doesn’t even hint at what he’s done as an advocate/political activist participating in workers movements or strikes and other times he’s helped labor unions and marginalized communities to achieve victories in their persuits for justice!!! End of New Edit======== Original post: =======Seems this meme is very pervasive… I keep finding more places I need to post the following information to in order to debunk the ridiculous “Sanders hasn’t done anything useful across his political career” trope going around. Well in any case, this ought to clear things up a bit:Klobuchar has introduced 2743 bills. 237 passed. 132 became law.https://www.congress.gov/search?searchResultViewType=expanded&q=%7B%22source%22%3A%22legislation%22%2C%22search%22%3A%22+Klobuchar%22%2C%22bill-status%22%3A%5B%22introduced%22%2C%22passed-one%22%2C%22law%22%5D%2C%22type%22%3A%22bills%22%7DLegislative Search Results:[%22introduced%22,%22passed-one%22,%22law%22],%22type%22:%22bills%22}&KWICView=falseWarren has introduced 3184 bills. 562 passed. 275 became law.Harris has introduced 3774 bills. 739 passed. 329 became law.Hillary Clinton has introduced 1957 bills. 180 passed. 75 became law.Sanders has introduced 8178 bills. 882 passed. 444 became law.====== Editing to add ================If you want specifics, here:Bernie Sanders is an accomplished, effective leader (hope you read this and learn something new!)Here’s A LONG List Of Bernie Sanders’ Accomplishments (WITH CITATIONS)A couple things listed on his own campaign website: Legislative LandmarksVeteransLandmark legislation was passed in 2014 to help the Department of Veterans Affairs serve America’s aging population of veterans and to meet the needs of a new generation of men and women who served in Iraq and Afghanistan. As the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee chairman, Sanders steered the bill through Congress. The legislation (H.R. 3230) passed the Senate 93-3 after passing the House 265-160 and was signed by President Obama on Aug. 7, 2014. The law included $5 billion for the VA to hire more doctors and other health care professionals. Sanders commitment to veterans has a long history. In 1998, he worked with Rep. Chris Shays to pass a bill to care for illnesses afflicting Gulf War veterans.Free Credit ReportsThe House on November 2, 2003, passed legislation (H.R.2622) authored by Sanders (original bill) to provide all Americans with one free credit report per year. The bill became law (Public Law No: 108-159) on Dec. 4, 2003.Dairy FarmsFarmers were being forced off land that had been in their families for generations during the depths of a crisis in the late 1990s, when huge dairy conglomerates drove down prices they paid farmers. The Senate voted 60-37 on Aug. 4, 2009, for a Sanders amendment (S.Amdt. 2276 to S.Amdt. 1908 to H.R. 2997) to an appropriations bill (H.R. 2997) that was signed into law. It provided $350 million to help struggling dairy farmers survive.And below is a shortened version of the list found here:Bernie Sanders' accomplishments - Occasional Planet (Bernie Sanders' accomplishments - Occasional Planet)Co-founded the Congressional Progressive Caucus and chaired the group for its first 8 years.Both the NAACP and the NHLA (National Hispanic Leadership Agenda) have given Sanders 100% voting scores during his tenure in the Senate. Earns a D- from the NRA.1984: Mayor Sanders established the Burlington Community Land Trust, the first municipal housing land-trust in the country for affordable housing. The project becomes a model emulated throughout the world. It later wins an award from Jack Kemp-led HUD.1991: one of a handful in Congress to vote against authorizing US military force in Iraq. “I have a real fear that the region is not going to be more peaceful or more stable after the war,” he said at the time.1992: Congress passes Sanders’ first signed piece of legislation to create the National Program of Cancer Registries. A Reader’s Digest article calls the law “the cancer weapon America needs most.” All 50 states now run registries to help cancer researchers gain important insights.November 1993: Sanders votes against the Clinton-era North American Free Trade Agreement. Returning from a tour of factories in Mexico, Sanders says: “If NAFTA passes, corporate profits will soar because it will be even easier than now for American companies to flee to Mexico and hire workers there for starvation wages.”July 1996: Sanders is one of only 67 (out of 435, 15%) votes against the discriminatory Defense of Marriage Act, which denied federal benefits to same-sex couples legally married. Sanders urged the Supreme Court to throw out the law, which it did in a landmark 2013 ruling – some 17 years later.July 1999: Standing up against the major pharmaceutical companies, Sanders becomes the first member of Congress to personally take seniors across the border to Canada to buy lower-cost prescription drugs. The congressman continues his bus trips to Canada with a group of breast cancer patients the following April. These brave women are able to purchase their medications in Canada for almost one-tenth the price charged in the States.August 1999: An overflow crowd of Vermonters packs a St. Michael’s College town hall meeting hosted by Sanders to protest an IBM plan to cut older workers’ pensions by as much as 50 percent. CBS Evening News with Dan Rather and The New York Times cover the event. After IBM enacts the plan, Sanders works to reverse the cuts, passing a pair of amendments to prohibit the federal government from acting to overturn a federal district court decision that ruled that IBM’s plan violated pension age discrimination laws. Thanks to Sanders’ efforts, IBM agreed to a $320 million legal settlement with some 130,000 IBM workers and retirees.November 1999: About 10 years before the 2008 Wall Street crash spins the world economy into a massive recession, Sanders votes “no” on a bill to undo decades of financial regulations enacted after the Great Depression. “This legislation,” he predicts at the time, “will lead to fewer banks and financial service providers, increased charges and fees for individual consumers and small businesses, diminished credit for rural America and taxpayer exposure to potential losses should a financial conglomerate fail. It will lead to more mega-mergers, a small number of corporations dominating the financial service industry and further concentration of power in our country.” The House passed the bill 362-57 over Sanders’ objection.October 2001: Sanders votes against the USA Patriot Act. “All of us want to protect the American people from terrorist attacks, but in a way that does not undermine basic freedoms,” Sanders says at the time. He subsequently votes against reauthorizing the law in 2006 and 2011.October 2002: Sanders votes against the Bush-Cheney war in Iraq. He warns at the time that an invasion could “result in anti-Americanism, instability and more terrorism.” Hillary Clinton votes in favor of it.November 2006: Sanders defeats Vermont’s richest man, Rich Tarrant, to be elected to the U.S. Senate. Sanders, running as an Independent, is endorsed by the Vermont Democratic Party and supported by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.December 2007: Sanders’ authored energy efficiency and conservation grant program passes into law. He later secures $3.2 billion in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 for the grant program.September 2008: Thanks to Sanders’ efforts, funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program funding doubles, helping millions of low-income Americans heat their homes in winter.February 2009: Sanders works with Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley to pass an amendment to an economic recovery bill preventing Wall Street banks that take taxpayer bailouts from replacing laid-off U.S. workers with exploited and poorly-paid foreign workers.December 2009: Sanders passes language in the Affordable Care Act to allow states to apply for waivers to implement pilot health care systems by 2017. The legislation allows states to adopt more comprehensive systems to cover more people at lower costs.March 2010: President Barack Obama signs into law the Affordable Care Act with a major Sanders provision to expand federally qualified community health centers. Sanders secures $12.5 billion in funding for the program which now serves more than 25 million Americans. Another $1.5 billion from a Sanders provision went to the National Health Service Corps for scholarships and loan repayment for doctors and nurses who practice in under-served communities.July 2010: Sanders works with Republican Congressman Ron Paul in the House to pass a measure as part of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill to audit the Federal Reserve, revealing how the independent agency gave $16 trillion in near zero-interest loans to big banks and businesses after the 2008 economic collapse.March 2013: Sanders, now chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee, and backed by seniors, women, veterans, labor unions and disabled Americans, leads a successful effort to stop a “chained-CPI” proposal supported by Congressional Republicans and the Administration to cut Social Security and disabled veterans’ benefits.April 2013: Sanders introduces legislation to break up major Wall Street banks so large that the collapse of one could send the overall economy into a downward spiral.August 2014: A bipartisan $16.5 billion veterans bill written by Sen. Sanders, Sen. John McCain and Rep. Jeff Miller is signed into law by President Barack Obama. The measure includes $5 billion for the VA to hire more doctors and health professionals to meet growing demand for care.January 2015: Sanders takes over as ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, using the platform to fight for his economic agenda for the American middle class.January 2015: Sanders votes against the Keystone XL pipeline, which would allow multinational corporation TransCanada to transport dirty tar sands oil from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico.March 2015: Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) introduced legislation to expand benefits and strengthen the retirement program for generations to come. The Social Security Expansion Act was filed on the same day Sanders and other senators received the petitions signed by 2 million Americans, gathered by the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare.September 2015: Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Rep. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-Ariz.), Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) and Rep. Bobby L. Rush (D-Ill.) today introduced bills to ban private prisons, reinstate the federal parole system and eliminate quotas for the number of immigrants held in detention.January 2016: Sanders Places Hold on FDA Nominee Dr. Robert Califf because of his close ties to the pharmaceutical industry and lack of commitment to lowering drug prices. There is no reason to believe that he would make the FDA work for ordinary Americans, rather than just the CEOs of pharmaceutical companies.A shortened list of accomplishments from:https://pplswar.files.wordpress.com/2015/11/printableleg.pdf104th Congress — 1995-1996• Require offenders who are convicted of fraud and other white collar crime to give appropriate notice to victims and other persons in cases where there are multiple victims eligible to receive restitution.

Trump was a birther. Do I need more than that?Funny how these things happen. Yesterday I started making a list of bad things about Donald Trump. I got to 68 items and then realized that I had covered only about one tenth of his time in office. I got tired and quit and figured I’d never use the list. But the opportunity has arisen, and I’ll dump it for you. Later I added item 69, perhaps one of the worst things I have ever seen from a US president, a statement of moral depravity that should cause ANY DECENT PERSON not to vote for Donald Trump.For the latest version of this list, see:Kevin Davidson's Reasons Not to Vote for TrumpThe list:Allowed deterioration of the US Postal ServiceAppointed USPS Postmaster General who violated campaign finance lawsAttempt to illegally increase USPS shipping rates for AmazonAppointed Michael Flynn national security advisor who lied to the FBI and the Vice PresidentIllegal executive order regarding Tic TokCut Pandemic Early Warning program in 2019 and fired staffMismanagement at CDC over Coronavirus testing kitsAttempted to cut CDC funding each year of his administrationDeliberately underplayed dangers of COVID-19 leading to tens of thousands of excess deathsFlawed deal in the Middle East that ignored fighting in LibyaIllegal air strikes in Syria, followed by…Withdrew from Syria leaving the Russians in controlTariffs started trade war with China resulting in disastrous problems for US farmersSix TRILLION dollars added to the national debt in only 3 yearsAdministration lied to federal court in the attempt to block publication of John Bolton's bookWithdrew from Paris Agreement on climate change.

Angela, thank you for your question.I understand where you are coming from totally.Agents are compensated for their expertise and time in assisting Sellers and Buyers in real estate transactions. The agent (Buyer) of your home should deserve compensation because he/she (as the Buyer) would still be assisting you with the whole transaction process. Unless you are representing yourself as well as the Agent Buyer with the whole process like; in writing your own contracts, negotiating, processing your own paper works, dealing with inspectors, lenders, escrow companies, termite companies, arranging for repairs, tracking the transaction process to stay on top of things, dealing with City or County inspectors….etc…then perhaps you have a valid reason to not pay. Agents are trained professionals however and it’s worth taking advantage of their skills to help you through your process.It is common for agents to apply their commissions towards either their down payment or closing costs when buying a home. This is not public knowledge, so I don’t expect you to know.There is a belief that agents don’t do enough to justify their commissions and rightly so in my opinion. The reason for that is because agents don’t advertise ALL of the things they do for their clients every time they go out to show homes or take listings. So, I’m here to debunk the belief.Agents are trained professionals just like ANY trained professionals in their respective jobs. Some professionals receive W2 wages while others, like for instances Real Estate Agents, gets paid in commissions. Agents are compensated for their expertise and all that is they do in real estate in assisting clients, in making sure that:Their transaction goes smoothly and completedThat all the right documents are completed, processed, and disseminated properlyThat nothing about the sale of the home comes back to haunt you in the future in the form of lawsuits.Agents work 60 hours weeks and do many duties that the public don’t realize they do because a LOT of what they do is usually done behind the scenes. To put this in perspective, here’s a list. It’s very comprehensive as you can see but I feel it warrants highlighting.Pre-Listing (before taking a listing)Property InformationTitle searchMLS search for COMPS ( similar homes sold)Active listings searchPending listings searchCancelled and Withdrawn listings search - for last 3-6 months (depending on market activities, hyper or slow)Search for withdrawn listings that ended up being rentedSearch for Listings that fell out of escrow and re-listedSearch for Listings that fell out of escrow and withdrawnAverage listing market days searchAverage sold market days searchAverage listing to sold dayssearchAverage listing to pending days searchAverage pending to sold days searchThese are typically things agents do before they even secure a listing, and they may not even get the listing.I like to include in my searches the following:Demographics searchAverage median family income searchMost used mortgage type search for the zip code the home is located inWhy?The demographic search provide information on what the dominant demographic is for that specific zip code. This gives an agent an educated idea as to who would most likely be the ideal buyer for the house.Search for the median family income. This search gives the agent an idea on how much home a Buyer from within the zip code can buy. This information gives the agent a sense of where the listing price of the home needs to be at. I try to keep it in line with the affordability range for the zip code.Search for the “most used mortgage type” . This search allows the agent to foresee as to the type of Buyer/s that would most likely be making offers on the home and what type of loan the offer would most like have.Having insight into these aspects prepares the agent for the types of negotiations he/she might expect to be engaging in.Here are more duties that agents perform as part of their occupation norm.Listing presentation - prepare and gather informationSet listing appointment & presentation with sellerConfirm listing appointment - call or email.Review property tax roll information.Neighborhood Drive - check neighborhood activities and traffic impact"Comparable Market Analysis" (CMA) - prepareObtain copy of subdivision plat/complex lay-out.Property's ownership and deed type - research and verify.Lot size and dimensions - research public recordLegal description - research and verify.Land Use - Deed restrictions- and Codes - researchLand Use and Zoning - researchOwnership Verification - research public property records.Prepare listing presentation packageEvaluate exterior Curb AppealCompile and assemble formal file on property.Confirm current public schools and explain impact of schools on market value.Review listing appointment checklist to ensure all steps and actions have been completed.Present Listing Presentation to SellerGive seller an overview of current market conditions and projections.Present CMA Results To Seller, including Comparables, Solds, Current Listings and Expireds.Offer pricing strategy based on professional judgment and interpretation of current market conditions.Discuss goals with seller to market effectively.Explain benefits of Multiple Listing Service.Explain the work the brokerage and agent do behind the scenes and agent's availability on weekends.Explain importance of agent taking and screening calls to protect seller privacy.Present and discuss marketing plan.Explain agency relationships.Explain the Listing ContractSecure seller's signature.Assess property condition - does it have deferred, if so whats the planProperty Under Listing Agreement - perform full Agent inspection and verification of informationsReview current title profile.Measure interior room sizes.Confirm lot size via owner's copy of certified survey, if available.Note any and all unrecorded property lines, agreements, easements.Obtain house plans, if applicable and available.Review house plans and make copy.Order plat map for record keepingDiscuss and Prepare showing instructions .Obtain current mortgage loan(s) information: companies and loan account numbers.Verify current loan information with lender(s).Discuss all financing options.47.
