Are Real Estate Portals Poised to Disrupt Brokerages?

Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents

Power Play

There’s a debate brewing in real estate: what happens if the Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP) gets tossed out? Right now, the CCP keeps a lid on pocket listings, but if it disappears, we could see a seismic shift. Major home search portals—those big players like Zillow and Redfin—might decide to stop playing nice with brokerages and go full-on brokerage themselves.

If listings start disappearing from the MLS, portals won’t just sit back. They could pivot and start recruiting agents directly, reshaping the industry. This could turn portals from useful tools into direct competitors, shaking things up for agents and brokerages alike.

For now, it looks like the major portals support the CCP. But if it ever goes away? Expect a potential power grab. Stay tuned!
