The results of Saturday’s Proposition 1 election regarding TNCs was disappointing but the voters have spoken. Unless our community can embrace new, innovative solutions, our city will remain mired in many of the issues we’re facing as a rapidly expanding metro. RECA is hopeful that in the weeks and months ahead, TNCs and the City can work out a solution that will bring this much needed service back. The fact is, Uber and Lyft were working just fine until city council added additional regulations to TNCs, including fingerprinting.

Newly completed research shows that when brokers cooperate, sellers achieve higher prices. While this has been an article of faith on the residential side of the business, proof of this concept has been lacking on the commercial side. A recent survey of more than 15,000 commercial transactions over a 10-year period valued from $2.5 to $20 million and spanning 10 states established that cooperatively sold properties achieved an arithmetic average price per square foot that was 9.6 percent higher than that of properties sold with only a single brokerage firm involved in the transaction.
