It’s been nearly two years since the NAR commission lawsuits and settlements that lead to major changes regarding compensation in real estate. These changes should have resulted in more transparency, real negotiation, and an end to behind-the-scenes commission deals.

But in reality? Not much has changed.
Agents are still calling before showings to lock in commission, expecting 3%, and generally not willing to negotiate even when they bring a less-than-stellar offer to the table.

In this episode, Glen and Taysia are tackling what they’ve actually seen change since the settlement, real examples of what sellers are facing from agents, and how to negotiate commissions in a way that won’t kill the deal.
