Buyer Agent Commission Disruption – Now What?
60 minutes
Since news of the NAR settlement broke, questions, confusion and predictions abound. Everyone wonders what the fallout will be for the real estate and mortgage industries. Join us for this timely webinar as we sort through the issues.
MGIC’s Kevin Hearden will open the session by addressing what we know and outlining what still needs to be determined:
- Has the judge accepted the settlement and is it final?
- Will the DOJ want to interject with more commission limitations before implementation?
- How will Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac handle buyer agent commissions? Will they be counted towards IPC limitations?
What does this mean to loan officers?
Next, Josh Mettle from The Loan Atlas will do a quick SWOT analysis as it relates to the changes, addressing these topics:
- How can loan officers help buyer agents finance their commission fees if sellers won’t pay them?
- If the buyer agent's lead pillar of our business is under potential risk, what can we do to replace those leads?
- Things we can do to become more valuable and create more relationships with listing agents, such as:
- Identify listing agents that need our help:
- Solve for industry problems listing agents are facing
- Popular tools loan officers have to help with those problems
- How to help listing agents incubate buyer leads
- Open house strategies to help listing agents and attract buyer leads
Attendees will leave with an action plan for taking what they’ve just learned and implementing it immediately.
