He acknowledges the uncertainty caused by external forces and the irritation of seasoned agents forced to adapt. The core message is that a broker’s most valuable role now is to provide clear, day‑by‑day guidance rather than claim to have all the answers. He advises agents to look for a broker who transparently outlines communication plans, strategies to protect buyers and sellers, and how they will maintain trust with clients. He warns that anyone promising complete certainty should be avoided.

If you are newer to real estate, you're early in your career, frankly, you have the most concerns right now as we look at upheaval in the business. Us old guard, we're a little irritated by having to change everything on the whims of some think tank somewhere, but we know it'll all sort itself out and we'll figure it out. If you're early career, you don't know that yet because you haven't yet lived through great upheaval, but it's all right. You should have a broker that tells you, we're going to figure it out day by day. I think that's the most important role of a broker right now, is not to have all the answers because no one does. And anyone who tells you they have all the answers, run, run fast. But what you should have is somebody who says, based on the information we have, here's how we're going to communicate. Here's what we're going to do to protect our buyers. Here's what we're going to do to protect our sellers. Here's how we're going to communicate with the people who know us and trust us. Your broker should be leading you in those conversational paths.
