Splits and Caps Daily: Action for Agents

November 4, 2024

📈 Market Move:

Big Talk, Small Shifts

A year after the Sitzer/Burnett verdict, agents are still adjusting. The big promise? Lower commissions, more consumer power. Reality? More lawsuits, rule tweaks, and a slow shift in how agents justify their fees.

While MLSs are scrambling to adapt and some sellers are negotiating harder, major commission drops haven’t hit yet. For agents, this means more focus on proving value in a market that’s still finding its footing.

The bottom line: change is coming, but it’s gradual. Keep showing clients your worth—this industry shake-up is far from over.
