REBNY Rule Change Will Require Sellers To Pay Buyer Agents Directly

REBNY Rule Change Will Require Sellers To Pay Buyer Agents Directly | Real Estate News and Auction | Scoop.it
As Sitzer | Burnett unfolds, the New York City trade association announced the upcoming rule change amid a nationwide reevaluation of buyer commission structures.
AZ Mountain Lake Realty's insight:

“Worst case scenario, the broker representing the buyer will have to negotiate their own fee with their client and the seller can no longer be compelled to make a blanket offer of compensation in order to list on the MLS,” Murray said.
“The second thing that could happen, is that more and more buyers will go directly to the listing agent, in which case they are clearly unrepresented. The third thing that would happen is a whole new kind of buyer brokers arise that charge an hourly flat fee to represent buyers,” according to Murray.

National Association of Realtors Lawsuit

1. What is this lawsuit about?
NAR has promulgated a series of rules, policies, and practices that have been widely adopted by
its members which have resulted in a lessening competition among real estate brokers to the
detriment of American home buyers. These rules, policies, and practices include:
 Prohibiting multiple listing services (“MLSs”) from disclosing to prospective buyers the
amount of commission that the buyer broker will earn if the buyer purchases a home listed
on the MLS (“NAR’s Commission Concealment Rules”);
 Allowing buyer brokers to mislead buyers into thinking that buyer broker services are free
(“NAR’s Free-Service Rule”);
 Enabling buyer brokers to filter MLS listings based on the level of buyer broker
commissions offered and to exclude homes with lower commissions from consideration by
potential home buyers (“NAR’s Commission-Filter Rules and Practices”); and
 Limiting access to lockboxes that provide licensed brokers physical access to a home that
is for sale to only those real agents

NAR's Commission Lawsuit Just Started But the Effects Are Already Being Felt

NAR's Commission Lawsuit Just Started But the Effects Are Already Being Felt | Real Estate News and Auction | Scoop.it
The lawsuit against the NAR, as well as some other large brokerages, for their commission split agreements started this week in Kansas City (the one in
AZ Mountain Lake Realty's insight:

Last week, the NAR announced that they were changing their “participation agreement” to allow the buyer’s commission to be any amount (even $0) in a listing. Some thought that this change could be seen as an admission of guilt. It wasn’t just the NAR that made the change. NYC’s predominant broker organization, The Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), announced this week that they will now be prohibiting listing brokers from paying the buyer’s agent. Instead, the buyer’s agent will be paid directly by the seller. This change was likely a preemptive move by REBNY to avoid any similar litigation. One of the reasons the defendants of the Siter/Burnett case are not settling is to avoid the copycat lawsuits that will inevitably occur in other jurisdictions.

Justice Department reportedly considering lawsuit to end real estate broker commissions Only the DOJ can make sweeping changes to the system

Justice Department reportedly considering lawsuit to end real estate broker commissions Only the DOJ can make sweeping changes to the system | Real Estate News and Auction | Scoop.it
October 17, 2023

Morning Brew delivers quick and insightful updates about the business world every day of the week from Wall St. to Silicon Valley.

Selling Sunset stars will have to discuss antitrust policy at the all-hands. The Justice Department is reportedly considering legal intervention against the lucrative US real estate commission-sharing system, Bloomberg reported.

Some background for renters: When you sell your house, you’re likely paying 5%–6% of the sale in broker fees, split between your agent and the buyer’s agent. With housing costs popping off, this fee can balloon to roughly $30,000 for a $500,000 house. The National Association of Realtors (NAR), the industry’s lobbying group, requires you to agree to the fee if you list your house on virtually any listing service.

  • Representing 1.5+ million agents, NAR is the largest trade group in the country, and even trademarked the word “Realtor” so only its paying members can slap it on their LinkedIn bio.
  • The NAR says objections to the current system are a bunch of foofaraw. The group argues it benefits buyers, making it easier for first-timers in minority and lower-income groups to purchase a house.

The real estate reckoning. One of two class-action suits against NAR and four large brokerages settled yesterday, requiring RE/MAX and Anywhere Real Estate to pay a combined $138.5 million. But only the DOJ can make sweeping changes. Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman told Bloomberg that if the DOJ were to dismantle the current commission structure, “Half the real estate agents in this country would be unemployed.”—MM
