NAR Finally Gives Up! - 1 Million Agents Expected To Leave Real Estate

[@scoobybleu]

There’s only ever been a small percentage of agents that provide any real significant value. Most have felt entitled to 3%. Only the agents who provide real value will survive. That will make the buying/selling experience better for everyone…

[@tuannguyen-zk3lv]

3% is now a myth. Now I see 2.5%-2% or less.

[@Yeoldelole]

@@tuannguyen-zk3lv or, how about the fact that every industry reaction to this settlement is indicating that only the agents who can advocate for their true value and demonstrate true value to the consumers, will survive. That means that real estate agents will be leveling up in the marketplace hugely. These are the agents who can advocate for higher commissions. I think commissions go up if the mass exodus occurs. Use logic? The weak agents who are willing to cut their commissions leave in droves, that leaves the strongest, like me, who can actually advocate for my value.

Redfin charges 1%

[@Yeoldelole]

Yeah. Hire Redfin, the agents who could never make it with their negotiation and marketing in the real world, and had to settle for a salary instead. Good idea @@peterbedford2610

[@tinasmith8241]

@@tuannguyen-zk3lv That will not happen. Already buyer's agents across the USA are making their clients sign agreements NOW, and asking and expecting 3% commission. And if the seller will not pay this full commission, they are making their buyer's cover that expense, or they are not showing any listings that are paying less than 3% to the buyer's agent. I have talked to agents in numerous states, and most have already implemented this. Through this new law that comes into effect in July, the real estate moguls at the top will be able to monopolize the industry and boot out most of the agents. Why use a middleman (agent) when they can pad their pockets without them? Most agents believe they will survive this, but this new law will put a lot of agents out of business because VERY FEW buyers are able to afford paying their agent commission on top of the high cost of the house/rates.

Nar has about 1.5 million members. Apparently 50% of agents are currently doing 0 to 1 deals a year. I can see how up to a million agents could potentially leave the field given the upcoming changes and the shortage of inventory.

Jerry I like how you explain this for those that don't know about real estate. I do have a few different opinions on the lawsuit and the reasoning behind it though. A "Buyers Broker" is always supposed to be representing and paid by the buyer and should actually be Certified to work as a buyers agent. Anyone without that designation should only be an agent agreeing legally to represent the seller and work on their behalf as a sellers agent even if they were brought into the transaction by the buyer. There is a difference. I don't know how NAR argued this case but this is why there is a difference between Realtors and Real Estate agents. This can go on and on but the outcome is what it is now. And realistically at the end of the day......the buyer finances the house at the sale price and the seller doesn't pay taxes on what is paid out at the table. They only pay taxes on what they actually net...which means the buyer is ultimately paying the commission because they are paying the 6% commission that's built into the price of the house.

[@michaelvargas2005]

You are right. Buyers have always paid the whole commission. And sellers won't lower prices now. But buyers will have to pay extra to buyer's realtors. This change doesn't help buyers at all.

[@lionstalklive9931]

I would disagree that the commissions are fixed. For 30 years I’ve negotiated my commissions on either side of the transaction.

[@Some0ne001]

Commissions were NEVER fixed they were always negotiable I am pulling my hair out from people saying the 6% was mandatory or required and how many people actually don’t understand the industry. All this does is hide the commission the agent will get paid from the seller on the MLS so agents don’t exclude potential homes that are paying out a smaller commission (Which is very illegal by the way). The 6% was a cultural number not a set number from any organization it was just a number everyone agreed with for all we know the new number could be 8% because agents feel like they need to make up for other deals they got paid less.

Flat fee MLS listing to include recent market comparison. If needed. Paid up front by seller. Show your own house. If you can't answer potential buyer questions, or understand what offer ammount you should accept or reject... then you need to go the 6% commision route. And pay the man Intermediary without appointments. A good one will have a realestate transaction coordinator. Flat fee split between seller and buyer 20/80. But Extremely negotiable Buyers need to pay for their own agent!!! Period!! They must pay for the level of assistance they need.

Real estate listing commissions won’t go down. Buyer agency will for the most part disappear and listing agents will have to handle both sides of each deal. Those hurt the most will be buyers and buyer’s agents.

Nah. Listings won't change because agents won't show the house. You think a listing agent is going to do twice the work with twice the liability for less?? Not gonna happen. My listings will always get the sellers to pay the buyers agents or at least cover a portion of it. Any listing agent not doing this will have a hard time selling a home.

@@gilborealtynot if they use Redfin or a big company lol. I sold my house and gave the buyers agent 3 percent. She did nothing but try to screw us and even till the morning of closing. She tried to get the title company to re do the closing docs and try to get us to agree to pay additional 9k to transfer our homestead. Title told her she was crazy and that isn’t happening. She lied about our appraisal report as well. We had an appraisal at 590 They’re appraisal had us at 580, but she stated we just met appraisal. We took our curtains several days prior and also demanded we give her clients $300 or we would not be closing. My agent also dropped the ball and took a commission cut to make up for it, but that’s a different story. Most agents are just MLS key keepers.

Here in west Texas, I'm a first time home buyer who was looking to get in the market last year and all the realtors I came across were barely over 18, college dropouts and were boasting to me about their multiple properties that they had Airbnbed out. I even lived in one such property for a few weeks between changing my apartments. These guys all have big 3000 sq houses with high ceilings, drive the lastest f150 and have indoor swimming pools for good measure. And here I was- a graduate who paid my dues for getting an expensive master's degree only to slave away in a boring 9-5 while these agents basically worked from home and didn't have a boss. I was really envyous becuase These guys made some phone calls fromm their dining table and opened a few door locks

[@fritzsmith3296]

@interestingtrimes182: "how many rich realtors do you know?" A few. Your point is well taken. When you say "Everyone saying Realtors". Translation: from reading the comments the "everyone" you are referring to are a bunch of "Wooden Philosophers". that is people who have strong opinions about things they know nothing about. These folk are just a bunch of "emotional barometers" using emotion they got from something else "bugging them" which they use as a relief valve to manage their emotions. I'm 79 and I have worked with real estate agents 3 times in my life. Mediocre agents struggle for sales. Why? Well mediocre salespeople have to work very hard for the sale, everywhere. That's just the nature of the human condition. However, there are some people who have very high likeability and people want to do business with them. The people who are saying "Realtors don't earn their commissions" are looking at only these people. PS: one more thing about negative comments. America is very angry. Angry people react to whatever emotion is driving them. Ask an unhappy about an event like the weather and they will respond negatively. Ask a happy person the same question and they will respond positively. How pissed off is America? Well, how about 50,000 Americans killing themselves last year, 136'daily. Murder/suicides, that is fathers killing the kids, his wife and then himself 4 times/weekly, 7000 mass shootings since Jan 2013. Note, the highest number killing themselves are the 14 to 24 age group. So, anytime you read a lot of negative comments on a subject remember that most of them are just "letting off steam."

The only people getting anything of real value from the lawsuits are the lawyers. Not saying the reforms aren't needed, they are. Also, I think this hurt a lot of buyers because they will need to save up more than their down payment to pay their agent. It is currently not allowed to role the commission into the loan. And you can't use seller concessions for it either. At least not here in Colorado. I recently took a CE class about all the lawsuits.

[@brookewyatt4001]

Can the Seller still pay a Buyer's Agent's commission??? YES! There is so much more to this ruling than this short narrative. In this settlement, it states that the Buyer's Agent's commission must be negotiated BEFORE you even see a home. Be careful when clicking on anything that demands signatures prior to seeing a home or you may be stuck with an agent you don't know or trust. FNMA hopefully will increase its Seller contributions across the board and VA will hopefully include the ability for a Buyer to pay his/her agent with concessions because, as of right now, it doesn't allow that if the Seller won't. The people hurt the most are the people who rely on loans that help them such as VA and FHA. This ruling has unintended consequences for Buyers with the least amount of money. They will be the ones hurt and they've had enough of a hard time buying. It's unfortunate that NAR's attorneys were not allowed to make this case.

It's not true that a seller's commission is passed on to the buyer. Dual agency can be tricky but it is workable if the broker is careful and ethical, and allowed under state law. Agents are deficient in their knowledge of law and FIDUCIARY DUTY. An agent/broker's fiduciary duty to the client overrides any agreement with NAR and its affiliates. A fiduciary has the highest level of trust and duty. NAR has always been technically in violation of antitrust law and fiduciary agency law. It's about time NAR's monopoly is done away with. I recall when local Realtor associations adopted a Rule that all Realtor member brokers were required to put ONLY an approved (electronic) lockbox on their listings, offering only ONE lockbox vendor's product. Guess what, this violated the law because that is the decision of the client/property owner, NOT the broker. The broker answers to the client, not the Realtor association/MLS. Any action by a licensed broker to the contrary is seen as "self dealing." I will guess that NONE of you Realtors opposed that Rule, or even mentioned it to the local Realtor association. Just go with the flow.

You can go to court and do everything yourself. But how many people are prepared for that??? No matter how much a buyer googles or watches youtube videos they'll never even come close to knowing 15% of what it takes. Some buyers actually think agents are getting 6% or that the 6% fee is the standard when in actuality that's not the case. Some also think the seller is the one paying the buyers agent. I'm happy with these changes business wise.... the agents like myself are going to increase their business drastically. The agents who will be leaving are the part timers and the ones who lack discipline. I'm just worried about the first time buyers and first time investors thinking they don't need realtors. I wish them the best. They're going to need it.

[@ocampbell1954]

A lawyer can do everything an agent can and it's not going to cost the seller 6 percent. There is nothing complex about the paperwork. lol

[@clo-br3oy]

@ocampbell1954 if you don't think it's complex for new buyers and new investors then you're delusional or ignorant to this step of the process. If I was a corrupt agent I can easily take advantage of clients. The biggest investors nationwide all is realtors they trust. The small time investors usually don't.

Also impact? It’s going to drive up interest rates and push the industry back to the 70s and 80s while turning a lot of folks into permanent renters. If buyers have to pay an agent they’re going to sit back and not worry about it because most buyers don’t understand the value of their home and of the real estate they have. The economy will suffer and employers will use that to their advantage by not offering higher pay meaning less money for would be buyers, higher rent, and no incentive for sellers to employ agents.

[@michaelvargas2005]

@FlippingMastery don't forget that the listing agent has the house you like! That fee may not be significantly reduced.

[@suedewuede9341]

Open for discussion. Is it really the seller who pays the buyers agent or is it the buyer who’s paying the sellers agent? Next, who does this really hurt? The buyer, the seller, the buyers agent, or the sellers agent? From what I’ve understood so far, if buyers are now looking at paying for their agents commission out of pocket versus within the purchase price, you may have fewer buyers able to purchase your home. Therefore, the seller is the big loser. Am I wrong?

[@rickerhart9755]

It remains to be seen how that impacts demand but it primarily hurts lower income or first time homebuyers (having to come out of pocket if they use representation). If they can’t afford it they will be in represented and things won’t go well (listing agent will be dual agent)

This isn't going to change much as far as commission rates. It's better for sellers since they don't pay for buyer agents, but buyers will now need to pay for their own agents, so they will have more up-front costs. It's just going to work like Commercial Real Estate does now. I previously had a license and didn't do ANY transactions a year. I had a license because it was required to show houses, and I helped friends on weekends for a small fee. So the whole comment about 1 million agents are leaving because of this is pointless.

[@larryjones9773]

Most buyers will choose to not hire/pay an agent. Buyer's agent will go extinct just like travel agents did, back when the Internet started. Buyer's agents should have gone extinct when the Internet started, but the system was rigged. The last five years of litigation is about to unrig this system (finally). Only very rich/dumb buyers will hire an agent. They are unnecessary due to the Internet. Buyers can easily view homes for sale online. Americans are already well skilled at buy stuff online.

Most Realtors are nothing but car salesman that took a state test. Its hilarious how they take their glamor shots and put them on their card. They show property that their client likely found for them online. They dont negotiate the price, they dont accept the offer, they dont execute the closing, title work or anything. They just know their contracts like the back of their hand and can fill them out in under an hour. Its hilarious how hard they act like they work too. Sure if you have 15 under contract you'll be busy but individually They will have about 4 hours in the deal. No risk, just paper work and phone calls. Im not saying they are useless, but they aren't important enough to split 6% of any deal. Maybe before the internet came along, but Its time for them and their fees to fade away.

The seller has always hired a listing agent and paid the Listing agent the negotiated amount, typically 6%.( nothing to do with the buyers agent) The listing agent then decides what to allocate funds to,....... Photos? Marketing? BAC? Staging?...and how much. The only thing changing is BAC is not broadcast in MLS if this comes to pass. Agents who think the structure is changing it is not.....(and this is where misinformation and lawsuits come from) THE SELLER DOES NOT PAY BAC.....THE LISTING BROKER DOES. And the only problem moving forward is listing agents saying to sellers...... " Mr./Ms. Seller you don't have to pay Buyers agent anymore ", then we are back in lawsuit territory again.
