WHAT CHANGED AFTER THE SETTLEMENT?
What Changed With the MLS and did it have an impact or changed anything? The answer is NO!
Buyer-agent compensation offers removed from the MLS.
Talking points:
- Under the settlement changes, offers of compensation to buyer brokers could no longer be made through the MLS by participating agents and brokers.
- Sellers could still agree to pay buyer-broker compensation outside the MLS.
- Compensation did not become illegal, nor was every seller prohibited from contributing.
- The changes altered how compensation is communicated and negotiated.
Key question: Did changing where compensation is offered solve the underlying concerns about representation and payment?
