   How the Commission "$100 Bill" Gets Torn in Half (The Truth)

   Ever wonder where a realtor's commission actually goes? A lot of folks think we just open a door, hand over a key, and cash a big fat check. I'm going to be straight with you — that's not how any of this works, and today I'm going to show you exactly why. Good morning, I'm David McAtee with Realty One Group Rose here in Tyler, Texas. In this episode, I use my favorite illustration — the commission "$100 bill" — to walk you through what really happens to that money. I'll show you how it gets torn in half right off the top, and then whittled away by brokerage splits, fees, taxes, marketing, gas, and all the costs that come before I ever see a dime. Because here's the part most people never see: I don't get paid a penny until we close. If the deal falls through, all those hours of research, all those drive-bys, all that windshield time and late-night market analysis — that's on me. If you've ever questioned what a real estate agent does to earn their keep, this one's for you. You'll walk away understanding the unseen side of a real estate transaction, why commission is what it is, and why I believe in serving first — because I serve, I don't sell. I've never sold a piece of property in my life. When you're ready to buy or sell in Tyler and East Texas, give me a call at 903-216-6885 or find me at marketmovesetx.com. I don't blow smoke, I don't have a crystal ball, but I'll always give you the honest truth — and when we close, the ribeye's on me.

   Why Every Closing With Me Ends Over a Ribeye

   Good morning — my name is David McAtee, and I'll be straight with you: I've never sold a piece of property in my life. I serve, I don't sell, and around here we celebrate every closing over a ribeye. In this episode, I'm pulling up a chair, pouring a cup of hot black coffee, and telling you the story behind the "ribeye close" — the signature promise that turned into the heart of my brand here in Tyler and East Texas. I've spent over 40 years at the pit — briskets, ribeyes, steaks — and some folks have gone so far as to call me a pit master (a title I'll humbly downplay). But grilling has always been more than a hobby for me. It's how I bring people together, and it's how I've learned that the best relationships are built over good food and honest conversation. So when we close on your home, we don't just shake hands and part ways. We celebrate, and the ribeye's on me. In this episode I'll share where the passion for the pit started, why I built celebrating into my real estate business, and what it says about how I treat every buyer and seller — with honesty, with service, and with a straight-talking, relationship-first approach. I don't blow smoke and I don't have a crystal ball, but I'll always put you first. When you're ready to buy or sell in Tyler and East Texas, give me a call at 903-216-6885 or find me at marketmovesetx.com. Let me serve you — the selling takes care of itself. And when we close, let's celebrate over a ribeye.

   Your Neighbor Sold High — So Why Won't Your House?

   Good morning — my name is David McAtee, and here's the honest truth a lot of Tyler and East Texas home sellers don't want to hear: your neighbor's house selling high doesn't mean yours will too. I get it. You watched the place down the street go for top dollar, and now you're wondering why an agent is telling you a different number. That frustrates folks, and I understand it. But I'd rather tell you the truth up front than blow smoke just to win your listing. In this episode, I bust the biggest myth in home selling — the idea that one high sale on your street sets the price for your home. I'll walk you through what really moved that neighbor's number: condition, upgrades, timing, square footage, the lot, and what the market was doing that week. I'll show you why pricing at $300,000 when the real market value is closer to $265,000 can leave your home sitting six months or longer — and how that costs you more in the end than pricing it right from day one. I serve, I don't sell, and I don't have a crystal ball. What I do have is real market analysis to back up every opinion I give you, so you're making decisions on facts, not wishful thinking. That's how I've worked since I got my license back in 2020 right here with Realty One Group Rose in Tyler, TX. When you're ready to hear the honest price on your home, give me a call at 903-216-6885 or find me at marketmovesetx.com. And when we close — the ribeye's on me.
