I created a sheet which shows the same calculation as above. It shows how when the selling price increases with respect to reference price(agreed between seller and broker) both benefit. Actual listing price on MLS does not have to be same as the reference price. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RZPJ0PxdZo-tMwsTG3g7...

This ensure that the seller broker interest is aligned with the seller. And the broker will tend to come up with a realistic price as reference price rather than an inflated price before signing the contract and then constant nagging for reducing the price after signing the contract.

How about following: asking/reference price is determined at the time of signing the contract.

"For every 1% change in the selling price, seller broker will get 10% change in commission rate. i.e.

Sell price Seller broker commission

Reference/asking price 2.5%

1% less than asking 2.25%

5% less than asking 1.25%

10% less than asking 0% (same for anything more than 10% less than asking price.

1% higher than asking 2.75%

5% higer than asking 3.75%

With small tweaks i think all of the shortcomings mentioned here can be taken care of. e.g. provide much larger tax rebates as lottery instead of actual money. These rebates are much more beneficial to the rich who spend the most and are the ones who evade taxes the most.

I do agree that we need a language with static typing so that one can have some level of confidence before releasing the code to production. Having said that python definitely is much better than javascript.

It is very difficult to measure the quality of each manager on these eight effective habits in an objective manner. What is the opinion of this group, about, google people rank algorithm(ratings from good performers carry higher weight and vice versa) to rate employees within the company.
