Dishin' Dirt on Are you Commission Steering and Don't Know it?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most real estate professionals are unknowingly walking into a legal minefield. On this eye-opening episode I expose the unseen risks lurking in everyday industry practices, revealing why the famous $1.5 billion verdict in the Sitzer/Burnett case was just the beginning.
I dive into the core issues of commission steering—covering how features in MLS systems, written listing agreements, and industry habits like broker-to-broker compensation and bonus structures can inadvertently set you up for legal trouble. You'll discover how seemingly innocent actions, like asking about compensation or filtering listings, can be spun into perceptions of undue influence, even without malicious intent. We're breaking down how these behaviors, often done out of laziness or ignorance, are now the hottest targets for plaintiff attorneys aiming for the next big jackpot.
