Impactful Policy Frameworks
NAR (National Association of Realtors) Settlement (2024)
The proposed settlement aims to resolve antitrust lawsuits related to broker commissions, effectively eliminating cooperative compensation rules and requiring agents working with buyers to enter into written agreements.
This policy will fundamentally alter how real estate agents are compensated, potentially reducing commissions and increasing transparency, impacting the business models of real estate brokerages and agents.
FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) Clarifications on Loan-Level Price Adjustments (LLPAs) (2023)
FHFA clarified changes to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's LLPAs, adjusting fees based on risk characteristics like credit score and loan-to-value (LTV) ratios.
These clarifications affect the cost of mortgage credit for borrowers and impact the profitability and loan product offerings of mortgage lenders and originators.
State-Level 'Right to List' Bans (e.g., Rhode Island, 2023)
Certain states, like Rhode Island, have implemented bans on 'right to list' agreements, which are long-term contracts giving a real estate broker exclusive rights to sell a property in the future.
These bans restrict certain long-term contractual agreements, impacting lead generation strategies and future business pipelines for real estate agents and brokerages relying on such contracts.
