[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to avoid all the big brokerages like Compass, Long & Foster, WFP, etc. Agents there have to follow strict orders on their commissions.[/quote]

Agent for one of these big brokerages. We have no "orders," much less strict ones. We are told to be straightforward and transparent, and to negotiate our own commissions and know our value. That's it. Conspiracy theories abound.

OK, maybe not "orders," but there is definitely an implicit agreement among agents at the big brokerages that they are not to go below 2.5% commission. Think of it this way -- brokers see every contract that their agents are on, so brokers know if agents are not getting at least 2.5%, and brokers can certainly fire/terminate/sever the relationship with any agent who isn't willing to stand firm on commissions.

OP really needs to look at small brokerages if they want someone who will negotiate on rates, because agents at the big brokerages somehow all know that they're not allowed to budge. It was this way before the settlement, and I'm not surprised it hasn't changed.[/quote]

Oh so they’re still colluding to fix prices?  😂 You guys really are idiots. [/quote]
