What was the lawsuit, and why is it so important?
Who is NAR, and what do they do for homebuyers and homeowners?
What does the proposed settlement look like?
How will this impact future home buyers and sellers?
What does this mean for Realtors® practicing today?

Additionally, Amanda is joined by Brooke Vanderbok, a top-producing Chicago real estate agent and recent team member of Chicago Home Partner. Together, they discuss the lawsuit, the importance of experienced real estate guidance today, and provide insights into the Chicagoland market through Q1 2024, including:

Why the Spring market was slow to arrive in Chicago.
How the inventory numbers have looked for 2024.
Which markets have been most successful so far.
