In the wake of a groundbreaking lawsuit accusing several Manhattan real estate brokerages, including the Real Estate Board of New York (REBNY), of artificially inflating commissions, the residential real estate market is buzzing with discussions about the implications and benefits of no-commission transactions. ComFree Realty is here to break down what this means for you as a buyer or seller in the real estate market, and more importantly, offer you as a buyer or seller a no-commission alternative.
A recent lawsuit filed against major real estate firms in the Manhattan real estate market alleges that these firms conspired to maintain inflated commission rates. This case echoes a growing sentiment among consumers seeking more transparent and equitable real estate dealings.
Increased Savings for Sellers and Buyers: Without the burden of high commission rates, sellers can price their homes more competitively, and buyers can potentially negotiate better deals.
More Control Over Real Estate Transactions: Eliminating commissions can give both parties more direct control over the transaction, fostering clearer communication and a more straightforward process.
Enhanced Market Efficiency: A no-commission model can lead to a more dynamic and efficient real estate market, with property prices more accurately reflecting property values without the distortion of commission fees.
