A RUDE Awakening Of The End of 6% Real Estate Commissions

Рет қаралды 23,280

Ай бұрын

If you wanted to buy or sell a house, a significant fee was involved, typically around 6% of the house's price, split between both sides of the real estate transaction. However, that's changing. In November, the housing market was shaken by a $1.87 billion lawsuit. The National Association of Realtors (NAR), representing over a million real estate agents, decided to settle multiple lawsuits by agreeing to pay $418 million and implement changes to reduce these high fees. They will no longer require agent fees to be listed on house listings, theoretically making buying and selling houses cheaper. This change could potentially lower real estate agent fees by 25% to 50%, allowing various services that assist with buying and selling houses to compete more effectively. As a result, houses could become more affordable for everyone. Many people are excited about the prospect of new, more cost-effective methods for buying and selling houses, benefiting both buyers and sellers.

The problem with these commissions is that the proportionality is unrealistic. A 600k house does not require necessarily any more work on the part of the agents than a 300k house. I was a specialty inspector in residential did hundreds of inspections for realestate transactions. Stopped doing it, a quality inspection takes a lot of time and people didn't wanna pay a higher price for quality.

If you boil all this down, it simply means that ALL agents will have to become more competitive and hustle more. The days of sellers funding $20k paydays are over. I've FSBO my last three properties. I paid a buyer's commission in two of them, but in both cases I refused to pay more than 2%. With this settlement and it's mandated changes, that 2% will now be a flat $5-10k, max. Sellers agents are simply not doing enough work to warrant the kind of pay days that the previous 6% model gave them.

@Clarktherealtor Ай бұрын

Not sure of you alls experience with an agent. However, a good agent does more than two days or six hours of work. I work everyday with my client until we get to the closing table. And, think about those months that go by as you show the buyer client around. We can go 6 months to 5 yrs showing around the same client before we reach the closing table and not get paid. Would you go 5 yrs where you worked without pay? Most people are only thinking about what a realtor might get paid, but fees are negotiable. Stop being small minded. Go out and actually interview a realtor. Ask them what they actually do. What was their longest transaction with a client, etc. Because you guys don't question a doctor that comes into the room, sits with you for 2 mins, gives you a prescription, then sends you on your way and charges your insurance for thousands of dollars.

It was/is still ABSURD to pay a percentage as an agent fee. There should be a set fee for a set period of time. There is literally nothing substantial difference in listing a $100k house or $500k. Yet, paying 5x more because I sell a nicer home doesnt yield 5x more expense to the agent. When an agent provides additional services like 3D pictures...that's an expense. But, again, doesnt justify a %. It should be a fee, like everything else... Cost + Markup.

The buyers never had to reach in their pocket per say to pay the buyer agent commission, but they actually did, and it was worse! For ex, the house was listed at 430k instead of 400k, the commision was baked into the price, so actually the buyers were financing the 30k comission for the entire duration of the 30 year mortgage, which is worse! Because they are also financing the listing agent comission as well. The 30 k includes the comission for both brokerages, and this is how was done until now. Basically, the seller was paying the comission, but was inflating the house price to make up the commission. This 30k can be 42k after 30 years at 7% rate. Can't believe how many buyers do not realize they were paying both commissions all along! With few exceptions of desperate sellers, divorces, death in family, sudden relocation, job loss etc.

When we bought our first house in the late 90's, we were short on cash. I talked to the seller, and we worked out a deal. He raised the price of the house by $5k, and he had a check waiting for me at close, in an envelope. (The seller was in close first, and left the sealed envelope to be given to me after we signed all the documents.) - It basically just rolled the amount in to the loan for us, and was a push for him, since he had inherited the property and only had to pay taxes based on the value change of the property difference from the date he inherited it, and the date it was sold. He sold it under market value, even with the $5k increase, so he had zero tax implications on it.

To the blackpianist, The percentage is far from accurate. What most don't know is we work, show, run, drive ,spend gas money and time for many who never purchase. Hours of drawing contracts, negotiating, inspections, appraisals, ETC, ETC and if it doesn't close , we make nothing. The inspectors, attorneys, appraisers, all get paid, but we don't. The compensations we do get averages out over many deals that don't make it to a closing.. Electricians, plumbers and whoever get a check at the end when their job is finished, which usually may be a day or two... Ours can be 3,4,5,6 or more months from start to finish.. At the end maybe 10/15 bucks an hour, divide the plumber or your other references per the hours it takes them to complete the job and they are making way more than I am. I can't get a tradesmen to walk in my house for less than 100 bucks to just get a quote... without any work completed. I walk in for free and am competing at least with one other Realtor, who might be willing to cut their commission. Until you know the other workers/professionals day to day work and dealings, you are no one to judge or say we get paid too much. I bet you don't work for free for months.... ??

As we was waiting we always have to approve the closing cost and it just kept going up so when i found the mistake of the land i just didn't want to wait for the inspection and survey redone and backed out cost me 500 dollars to do so last time i checked they sold it more than what i was going to pay for

So how is this going to make houses cheaper? Real estate will always have transaction costs. I go through the listing agent when possible you might be able to get them to discount their commission in some cases such as cash purchase, few or no contingencies but not in a hot market. All this is going to do is restructure real estate transactions with little to no actual effect. Commissions have always been negotiable and flate rate has been an option. How hard do you want your agent to work? In hot markets you should definitely negotiate commissions because they won't have to work hard for marketable properties.

Also from my understanding is if the seller is paying more then what the buyer's brokerage allows the SELLER will keep the difference, it does not go to the buyer.

We have been socially conditioned to believe that the relationship between buyer and seller is inherently oppositional, and that we absolutely need realtors to protect us during the transaction. In reality, humans are naturally very cooperative and open to working together and compromising. Basically, we’re lied to(by all industries) about who we are, and sadly, we eat it up. Of course, there are lots of people who do seem to enjoy being confrontational and difficult, but that’s not who they naturally are, and it’s certainly not beyond their capabilities to get along well with everyone. But when we have been programmed from birth to believe we are a certain way, we end up unconsciously manifesting those traits in order to avoid cognitive dissonance.

ALSO: Please don't diss Android products because you're an Apple fan who's convinced yourself there's "added value" in Apple products. Android phones are not lesser, they're different. And flip that: Apple products aren't better, they're different - and more expensive. FYI, $700 bucks for a new Android phone isn't cheap, or "cheapie."

My Android Samsung was 1400, not cheap, and comparable to iPhone. Not bragging, but I don't like Apple products and their proprietary software and apps. Android is compatible with so many types of software.

Help me understand the part at 32:00 mins where it sounds like Agents are still expecting Sellers to continue to be on the hook for the Buyer Agent's fees? If you agents collaborate/ communicate this using the word "concessions" aren't you circumventing the law that you know about and sellers won't?

@Detached_AZ Ай бұрын

Here's the conversation I see happening. Buyer to buyer agent - "I can't pay you anything" Buyer Agent: "Don't worry, we'll ask the seller to make a concession to pay MY fee". EXPECTATIONS!!!

Can't blame lending institutions for complications in the paperwork, 30:45 mins, we must blame American greed. US consumers needing more Regulation in this industry is the solution. Whenever a common transaction has mystery or black box or heavy legaleze involved, we find American sales types exploit that with collusion for their exorbitant salaries to make it all simple for US. Then we see their lobbyists buy legislators for more protection. Another battle to fight is the lending rates offered lower through brokers who make $5000 for their 90 mins of work, when the same lenders offer over-the-counter retail loans for a half a point higher. Then Title company greed is the next on my list that needs to see the sunlight of honesty. We have more important progress to make in the US but Sales and Marketing is sooooo lucrative still ! Imagine if sales people all accomplished a STEM degree instead, as I did, and we eliminated Real Estate and Medical drug commission transactions, we would have solved cancer and climate change by now. But the sales people will tell you those require a new drug or "its a hoax, trust me".

Question… respectfully… Why has it always been the responsibility of the seller to pay both agents out of his or her profits? When somebody buys a house unless it’s there forever home they’re wanting that investment to grow I’ve never ever been an advocate of the seller using his or her profits to pay for somebody else’s service I’ll pay for my service and you pay for your service I’ve always thought that’s the way it should be If you go to refinance that house who plays the closing cost So that would also go along with why should the seller pay all the closing cost for somebody else’s loan? I just think everything so messed up.

DOJ is watching this video and other videos and posts by industry persons who are saying they have a work around and loophole. As of July 12, 2024 DOJ is eyeballing this. So if you say it’s a done deal I am skeptical. “The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Washington, D.C., on Friday denied a request from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) for a rehearing of the court’s previous ruling that the Department of Justice (DOJ) can reopen an investigation into the trade organization.”

Kristina, what do you think about sellers being present during the inspection? I recently had one, and I wasn't able to go inside the house, the seller did not answer the door, inspector was on the roof. It was very awkward and I left, but my feeling the seller wanted to hide defects. I never had an inspection with the seller present. BTW, house failed inspection.

I think a buyer's agent is much less valuable than a seller's agent. You can find so much data on the Internet, I am not sure you need a buyer's agent. You can read the contract yourself.

@Su-Jo Ай бұрын

@@proudliberal24-sv1wo I disagree. The seller's agent typically just lists the property on the MLS and kicks back while the buyer's agent does the work showing the buyer multiple properties before a decision is made. I think sellers should be able to list on the MLS themselves and offer a fee to the buyer's agent. Who needs an agent to list their property anyway? Dumb!

Buying agents show people homes they are not interested in, and they would never show a home for sale by owner even if it is exactly what they want, because they wouldn't earn any fees.
