As a real estate professional, do you really think home buyers and sellers didn't have choices before the NAR/Sitzer/Burnett case made it to court? There are over 1.5 million of you spending dearly to market your services to either home buyers or sellers or both. If 6% was engraved in permanent ink on all listing agreements and not left blank across the country than we could all agree a legitimate case could be made that sellers didn't have a choice as far as commissions when they hire a real estate professional to sell their home. But there is a blank space to write in a commission on a listing agreement which is a choice. The August 17, 2024, court settlement agreement is very suspicious, but it's been made, and you have to deal with it. Now contracts with verbiage in them about commissions have to be signed by home buyers before even seeing a home or getting to know who you are. One change that's causing quite a bit of anxiety among agents nationwide is the new rule about commission transparency. Simply put, you can no longer list commissions or any type of compensation on MLS listings across the country. While you can still share this information on your website, signs, texts, emails and even verbally over the phone, the MLS is off-limits. That's where Compensation Quest (CQ) comes in. CQ is a membership-based platform designed specifically for real estate professionals like you, and it operates independently from NAR or any MLS. It allows you to quickly and legally share your seller's property address, commission details, and any bonuses with other members. For decades, the U.S. Real Estate Co-Broke System has been working effectively, ensuring fairness for both home buyers and sellers. Our platform will put an end to the constant calls and texts you've been sending as a buyer's agent and receiving as a listing agent these past months asking about commissions. For a limited time, our membership is free for the 1st year, no cc required. no strings attached and if you decide to stay on after the 1st year, the service is only $4.99 a month. If you feel Co-Broking with other agents works for you, join today, post your listings and spread the word "you can see your commissions again on CQ".
