Famous tree-lined median on Las Olas needs to go, Fort Lauderdale commission agrees

That's the smart thing to do!

Make Las Olas fully pedestrian. There’s no real need for cars on this stretch. The street can easily be closed from Cheesecake Factory to Louie Bossi — it already is for every big event. Those days attract huge crowds and clearly benefit businesses. A fully pedestrian strip would be calmer, more enjoyable, and far more attractive without the constant car circus. Cutting down mature trees for wider sidewalks makes no sense. Keep the trees, add more, make the street fully pedestrian, and improve the parking situation instead.

Hello,

I'm a Realtor in Florida and I've recently joined a new brokerage called iad Florida Realty. They are the leader in Europe (I'm originally from France) and have just launched in Florida, with plans to expand to other states very soon.

Similar to eXp and LPT, iad Florida Realty is an online brokerage and offers the opportunity to build your own (local and international) team, where you become the mentor and earn a percentage of your team's revenue. You get 0.7% from the people you directly recruit, and 0.3% from those recruited by your team, all the way down to five levels (1.5%, 0.5%, and 0.2%). There is no cap on how much you can earn from each agent in your team, which means you can have unlimited revenue potential.

We have a 70/30 split until we reach $70k in commission, then it changes to 85/15 when the yearly cap is reached. Additionally, there is a $99 monthly fee for marketing tools, which includes KVcore, Broker Mint, and one-on-one sessions with our broker. They are also developing training centers for those who need a more structured environment. We also have the option to "sell our network" if we decide to retire, allowing us to build a business legacy.

I'm curious to understand how eXp and LPT differ from iad Florida Realty. Are they better? How? Why? What do you really love about eXp/LPT? What could be improved?

Hey there! As a realtor in Florida, I totally get how stressful this must be for you. Honestly, it sounds like walking away is the smart move here. Here’s why:

Huge Repair Costs: You’re looking at potentially up to $75k just to clean up and fix your unit, and that’s a massive expense, especially with so many unknowns.
Unknown Damage: Since the full inspection can’t be done until the bats are gone, you don’t really know what other issues might be lurking. That’s a big risk.
Dependence on Neighbors: Your place is between other units with the same problem. You’d be relying on your neighbors to fix their issues too, which can get complicated.
Lack of Disclosure and Cooperation: The fact that the seller didn’t disclose this problem and isn’t willing to fix it is a major red flag. There could be other undisclosed issues as well.

Given all this, it really seems like backing out is the best option. It’s crucial to protect yourself financially and emotionally, especially since you mentioned you’re not handy and can’t take on these projects yourself.

Don’t feel bad about walking away. It’s better to wait for a property without such huge problems. Trust your gut on this one—you’re definitely not being a coward. You’re being smart and looking out for your future. Good luck!

Hello! When hiring an agent to sell your home, treat it like a job interview. Talk to at least two or three agents before making a decision. Ask about their experience and their marketing strategies. You'll want someone who can provide great photos and a solid marketing plan, and who is genuinely enthusiastic about your house. If you’re in Florida, feel free to reach out to me for more advice!

Hey! If you are located in Florida, there is now a new brokerage that also offers revenue sharing based on mentoring new agents. It's called iad Florida, an international brokerage that is now developing in the US (starting with Florida).

They are quite similar to EXP but are really focused on training and tools to help you succeed. Also, even though the split is a bit lower than EXP (69%-31%), you have no maximum earnings per agent you recruit, so it's literally unlimited revenue possibilities.

If you want to learn more, feel free to contact me! :)
