Commissions aren’t disappearing — you’ll still need to pay a real estate agent for their work, just as you would any service provider.
And the commission, which is set between an agent and the seller, will continue to be negotiable.
The seller’s agent will also still be able to split the commission with the agent bringing the buyer.
One new rule prohibits agents’ compensation from being included on listings placed on local centralized portals known as multiple listing services, which critics say led brokers to push more expensive properties on customers.
This agreement will specify the work the buyer’s agent will do and how they will get paid.
