In today's episode I talk about how the NAR settlement was by far one of the largest shake ups in the industry in a long time. The last shakeup this big was coincidentally enough the introduction of buyer agency. This is an important step in understanding how we deal with this moving forward.

I also review how one of the biggest changes I have seen since the settlement would be the amount of discussions around commissions. It has agents, brokers, attorneys, mortgage brokers, buyers, sellers, banks, and even the government talking about commission. I think this helps the settlement reach its goal of more commission awareness. I know for most agents it was a time to learn how to talk about commissions inside out to make sure to be ready to speak with clients.

Overall I talk about my experiences when booking showings. So far I have not run into one solid NO on commissions with each agent answering differently. Some listings have offered seller direct commission, some have offered cooperating compensation, and some have simply said I suggest you put it in the contract and we can see what the seller says. It will be interesting to see how this all plays out.

Tune in today and learn how to deal with the changes.
