Real Estate Policy Changes Could Lower Seller Commissions, Shift More Costs to Buyers

Policy changes could lower costs for sellers and shift more costs to buyers to pay their agent commissions out of pocket.

Settlement aims to address lawsuits alleging homeowners pay inflated commissions when selling.

Changes could mean more transparency around agent commissions and compensation.

Sellers could save thousands of dollars in commissions if they only pay their listing agent.

Shift could lead to more competition and alternative business models in the real estate industry.
