So interested to see how this all works out. I would gladly pay my own agent if I were ever to purchase another house (but I'm old so hopefully, I won't have the need). Our agent when we moved from Michigan to Florida was CRUCIAL in ironing out lots of problems we encountered along the way. If it wasn't for her skill, I'm pretty sure we would have given up during the purchase process. She was very knowledge and very persistent--doing whatever was necessary to smooth the way for us. And the stack of paperwork that she had to fill out for us was unbelievable. Plus she had to arrange a remote closing in the midst of Covid. Because of her, for the last 4 years we have been happily living in our 4 bedroom, 2 bath home with attached garage and pool in a beautiful neighborhood. A good agent is worth his/her price in gold!

Houses are listed for sale with the commission to the buyers agent already baked into the sale price. It’s the buyer who pays everything. They buy the house with a mortgage or cash.🤦‍♀️

[@mtngrl5859]

Exactly. I've explained this to Sellers when they believe its a "Sellers Market". I've told them it's only a Sellers Market as long as Buyers are willing to buy their home. Before this agreement, all sold homes in the MLS featured a commission to the Buyer's agent. If Seller refuses to pay, many Buyers will walk or bring in lower offers.

[@mtngrl5859]

Yes, and a good Seller's agent will discuss this with them when they list their home. It's a cost to do business, all appraisals use past sales that had the commission for the Buyer's agent. Buyer's pay most of the costs of the transaction (getting a loan or bringing cash in), Sellers pay just a relatively small (considering purchase price) to have a sale handled professionally.

The RE industry brought this on themselves. With the advent of the internet and the associated technologies the RE industry never adjusted their fees.

This will definitely work out in the buyer’s favor. 1) Most buyers already do most of the leg work already, when it comes to where they want to buy a home. 2) Buyers can always contact the listing agent to set up a home viewing. 3) Buyers have the option to buy a home using a realtor lawyer to hold their hand…. for a flat fee. 3) there’s tons of information online to help educate your self before venturing out.

[@mtngrl5859]

Let's have you put the Seller's Agent hat on for a second. The Seller's Agent has no duty to show you the home without you signing an agreement with them. So, you will need to have the attorney sign an agreement & they will have to accompany you on private showings. This will not be covered in your flat fee. Who is going to be there for a 3-hour home inspection. That is not covered in a flat fee. So, that will be another $1200 out of your pocket. Yes, you can come to public open houses to view the home. Let's say you submit an offer with your attorney & let's say that there are 2 other offers being represented by Realtors. Now all Sellers will make their own decisions, but they confer with their agent. Most Seller will not want to work with an attorney. First, in case of litigation, they can represent themselves for free and that puts the Seller at a disadvantage. Over the years, I've had Sellers refuse to sell to an attorney client for this reason. This will hurt VA and FHA Buyers, since they are already struggling to get into homes. Likely Buyers will write in lower offers & finance in the representation fee. I'm sure lenders are already working on this. When I used to work with Buyers, I would always have Seller's pay their closing costs, even if it went over the listed price. This has been done for years.

[@JohnyZman]

Ok go to the listing agent who is already working for the seller. Can’t wait till you find you paid more just so the listing agent can cash in all the commission. Ok get a lawyer who would just love to do a realtors job. Don’t cry when the charge you $500 an hour 😂😂😂

I'm a California Realtor, it is bolded in listing agreements that they are negotiable. When I meet with a Seller, I have the title company create a closing statement that shows what they will net & how much the Buyer's Agents and Seller's agent gets paid. I have them initial this at time of listing. Further, as soon as the home is listed in MLS, I have the Seller sign the MLS data sheet, so they can see what is being represented. I've never had any Seller not understand this.

Well who is paying that back? A contract is a contract; you have the right to not take it. Well maybe not...I guess that is the issue.

Offer making and contract submission forms will become much more user friendly for buyer self submission. Automation similar to investor submission databases will roll out for retail buyers.

Been an agent since 1990. Remember when the broo ha ha happened with the institution of buyer brokers exclusively representing buyers and slicing dual agency? I predict buyers will use sellers agent not having to pay any type of fee or commission. What goes around will now come back around. I represent sellers only and man am I glad for that.

sold on any MLS in USA Feb 1 2020 to Feb 1 2024. If you don't submit claim form you get nothing and lose claim.

THANK YOU for the heads up! in April 2021 my wife and I paid over $23k to a buyers agent when we sold our home in Boise, Idaho. Even getting a few hundred dollars of that back would be nice. :)

[@andydhillon1977]

So you had to pay 2 fees? Buyer's and seller's fees

[@kevinduveneck1504]

Why did you pay them? Was the $23,000 part of the commission that you paid to your agent? If so, then if your agent gave the buyers agent part of the commission you agreed to pay, why should you have any say in the matter?

I paid 58k buyer & seller fee😡 what a waste

@@kevinduveneck1504 My wife and I were going through a VERY stressful time with a recent death in the family, our disabled son, and I had just broke my neck due to a careless FedEx driver. With surgery after that, all we wanted to do was sell the house and move across the country. so we just did what the agent said was normal....which was the usual 3 percent to each agent. You live and you learn, I guess.

I sold mine back in 2022 with Allan Tate, and I checked the link website, and it says something like it goes up to 2020. So,I assumed that I did not qualify.

I am already hearing rumors in the private capital markets of investors looking to invest in startup companies that offer real estate as a service (REAAS) to replace the buyer's agent so it looks like the market is already adapting to these changes for the good of the buyer!

Great video by the way .

Our daughter signed up with a buyers agent.. (richmond virgina).i never heard of such a thing. After 2 weeks of being showed what she said she did NOT want...she had to write a letter with reasons of why to fire the realtor! Ironicly i found the home we bought 33 min on market! Im 2300 miles away in washington state.

Lawyers do have to apply to the court with disclosure of any class action lawsuits. Sit down because the lawyers get 51% of all class action lawsuits. You get a coupon for Burger King horse meat

I sold my home last March, will definitely let you know if I get any.

[@kimredmond3550]

Guessing buyers working without an agent, are going to have less flexibility when it comes to showings. May need to wait for open houses.

[@lordinquis8r679]

Thanks, Michael! I was in a condo in Marina del Rey over the weekend. There had been considerable anxiety and expense in the past ten years because of slipshod initial construction. So much is hidden that, in my opinion, buyers should just stay away from those buildings. If you buy, you will regret it.

I’ve written offers on on pc of copy paper! You can also go on line and get standard fill in blank contracts and you can educate your self on line on the process. Just communicate .

[@Chirita008]

Thanks so much for this information. I did sell my house during one of the required timeframes. I have filed and even if I only get $5, that's a cup of coffee on them for my troubles. 😁 After reaching a bit more once I heard about the lawsuit, turns out my realtor actually charged me an 'additional' fee of $400 for her assistant. Which I now hear was pretty ballsy of her on top of her commission. WTF! I'm definitely going to be more aware next time. 😠

[@lesliehunter1340]

@MichaelBordenaro Thanks Michael! This video really helped me with a decision I need to make. I'm 75, and getting ready to close on some land that I sold in Georgia. The proceeds will allow me to buy a home as a 1st time homebuyer. BUT, to your point, at my age it doesn't make sense. I am on a fixed income here in Florida. Based on your info, it would make more sense to rent than to buy. Most important thing to do is to get a really good landlord. Appreciate the education!

Im convinced that the big investment firm’s are secretly/ deeply behind this. Yeah Mike thanks for sharing these vids. Your views on homebuyers are on point. . My forte was buyers. I’m at a point that I’m almost set with the business. In Massachusetts. Im done.

[@tonyhurst6544]

Here in Missouri my clients are getting letters from a company that is gathering information on sellers who sold in the last 2 years. It has to do with the lawsuit that started here in Missouri . It's really think that this lawsuit hurts the buyers. Indirectly those buyers were paying the commissions . The sellers always factored in the commissions by raising the price to net what they wanted . The buyers are now vulnerable and challenged by these new proposed changes . Also cbre is not factoring in the upcoming r. e. Crisis. In Missouri you can in some areas buy for what you pay for rent .
