Real Estate Commission Changes Explained | MLS Rules & Antitrust (California)

“Why did the real estate commission model change?”

Because of one big issue:

Conflict of interest.

For years, sellers were essentially paying the buyer’s agent…
to negotiate the price down.

Think about that.

“I’m paying someone to work against me.”

That’s exactly what courts looked at—
and agreed the model had problems.

Here’s where it gets real in California real estate:

When commission is tied to what’s offered in the MLS…
it can influence behavior.

If one property offers less compensation?
Some agents may avoid showing it.

That’s called steering.

And it led to major legal concerns, including antitrust violations.

So the rules changed.

No more standard commission structures.
No more built-in expectations.

Now, everything must be:

Transparent
Negotiated
Clearly agreed upon
