Cooperation Clash: Real Estate’s New Divide

Here’s the deal: The real estate world is buzzing about the Clear Cooperation Policy. Basically, this rule forces agents to list properties on the MLS within a day of marketing them. It was created to promote transparency and prevent "pocket listings" that only a few buyers see.

Some say it ensures fairness by giving all buyers access to the same info. Others argue it’s too restrictive and creates legal risks. The debate boils down to one thing: control. Big players are fighting over who gets to keep listings private and who benefits from more open data.

For agents, this could change how properties are marketed and who gets the first look. Stay tuned—it’s about to get interesting.
