1. Decoupling listings and buyer’s agent compensation

A groundbreaking shift in how buyer agents are compensated will change the way transactions occur. With commissions no longer bundled and listed in multiple listing services (MLSs), buyers must now negotiate fees directly with their agents. This creates an opportunity for skilled agents to establish transparent value propositions, potentially commanding higher compensation for their expertise.

Brokers and team leaders have a unique opportunity to recruit buyer’s agents who prefer not to handle negotiating their buyer’s commission independently. By offering structured support, transparent compensation, and a strong pipeline of leads, brokers can attract talented agents who thrive in client-facing roles but want to avoid commission negotiations.

As the report states: “This is a Darwinian moment for real estate — many of the weaker players won’t survive the next few years, and those that remain will be stronger and more professional.”
