Landlord is letting me pay by day until I move. Basically, my regular rent divided by 30 days.

This allows me to move easy instead of rushing. Plus, my daughter is still in school and I’m working.

Quick question for the definitely more informed than I am about this new real estate game. I am listing my house and using a flat fee listing service. They are trying to keep the old guard of seller pays buyer's agent even after this new ruling. And the general is between 2-3%. They say it would keep me competitive and that buyer's agents will pass me by and not show my home.

The question is isn't that steering? And can I pursue any legal action? Should I pay 2-3% for someone to just show my home even though they should be getting that from the buyer now?

Ok, I guess quesions plural.
