The industry is split on the Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP). NAR needs to take a decision on what Clear Cooperation should be, and work to unite the industry behind this vision.

In the competitive landscape of real estate, every connection counts. A study by NAR revealed that agents with earnings over $100,000 annually saw a third of their business coming from referrals by past clients, with another 34% from repeat business. This level of success hinges on one critical factor: maintaining consistent communication with clients. But here's the challenge: the hustle of the industry often means that valuable contacts slip through the cracks. In a city like Nashville, where residents move on average every 7 years, the opportunity for repeat business is immense—but only if you remain top of mind. Enter byPareto.

What is NAR'S Clear Cooperation Policy? Please click the link below, Robert Reffkin explains why this is NOT in the Seller and Buyers best interest. Robert is a huge advocate for all of us, including YOU! https://lnkd.in/gE46DV7B This sums it up, take a listen. Conflict "The Clear Cooperation Policy forces Realtors to comply with MLS-mandated rules even when they conflict with the first sentence of the first article in the Code of Ethics. Clear Cooperation can require Realtors to act against their clients’ best interests when clients want to market their homes publicly for more than one day without placing them on the MLS. The assumption that every client desires maximum exposure for their listing is mistaken: Many clients don’t believe that more exposure equals a higher price. If more exposure equals a higher price, why do home builders sell hundreds of thousands of homes off-MLS each year? If more exposure equals a higher price, why do hundreds of thousands of companies not sell their products on Amazon, where there is the most exposure? Some clients care more about privacy than price. They shouldn’t be forced to surrender their privacy to sell their home. Examples where the client may not want to market on the MLS A family member is seriously ill, and the family wishes to maintain privacy to avoid additional stress. A couple going through a divorce prefers to avoid public attention until their affairs are settled. An individual is moving for a confidential job opportunity. The property is undergoing recommended improvements; the owner wants feedback on how the improvements may impact sales price before showcasing it to potential buyers. Sellers want to test the asking price privately without accumulating unnecessary “days on market.” In these instances, Realtors must question whether complying with the Clear Cooperation Policy is truly in line with their ethical responsibilities. Realtors must balance marketing and cooperation on the MLS with the duty to prioritize their clients’ best interests. When these two priorities conflict, client interests must precede MLS policy. Moreover, state law says, “A seller’s agent has, without limitation, the following fiduciary duties to the seller: reasonable care, undivided loyalty, confidentiality, full disclosure, obedience and duty to account.” Clear Cooperation is forcing agents to break the law (fiduciary duty) by forcing them to push their clients to list in the MLS, even if their clients believe that marketing outside the MLS will result in a higher price or desired privacy. Furthermore, it damages the relationship between agents and MLSs, fining them up to $5,000 for doing what their clients asked. The Clear Cooperation Policy should be removed so that NAR ethical rules can provide more flexibility to account for a wide variety of clients’ interests when marketing their homes."

A message to all who are contemplating a career in the real estate industry.... ~ Future trends will depend upon several factors ~ Business practices, mortgage affordability, seller concession trends, condition, location & curb appeal will continue to impact for years to come! Effective August 17, the real estate industry across the United States will change & begin to measure how many sellers opt to withhold both the paying of a buyer agent's compensation & resistance to reduce that amount from their sales price expectations! Though lending practices are beginning to allow consumers to pay that particular cost of the home purchasing experience, more than a 1/3 of the consumer pool is NOT capable of including that additional cost towards their dream of homeownership. Consider the following reality, a seller says no to pay a buyer agent's compensation yet does not reduce their sales price expectations by any reasonable amount and requires the consumer to pay twice for that cost of doing business! Consumers are SAVVY and aware that the cost of buyer agent compensation has been baked into the sales price & appraisal process for decades! Consumers will learn quickly how best to manage unreasonable expectations especially when led by competent professionals. How a seller markets their most valuable asset, through their real estate professional, will accomplish the following; marketing to the broadest consumer pool to realize a highest and best sales price, conducting business in good faith & directly reassuring the consumer they support their need for housing throughout the local marketplace. Good faith & ethical behavior will continue to be tested! https://lnkd.in/gqd9jPs8
