Fair Play: Buyer Representation & Compensation Conversations
Maura Neill (ABR, AHWD, CRS, e-PRO, MRP, PSA, MA) is a second-generation REALTOR® who combines her love for the industry with her passion for education. Before entering the real estate business in 2001, Maura taught at Florida State University and the University of Phoenix. She is an active agent with RE/MAX Around Atlanta, leading her team and representing buyers and sellers daily. She considers education – both of clients and of other real estate professionals – an important part of her role as a REALTOR®.
Homebuyers have had access to fair and equal transaction representation since the 1990s. The value and process of buyer representation has come under scrutiny with class action lawsuits, NAR lawsuit’s proposed settlement terms, and continued scrutiny from the DOJ. The removal of MLS compensation offers and the mandating of written agreements have real estate licensees questioning how to serve their buyer clients and how they will be paid for their work. Join Maura for this uplifting and positive keynote exploring best practices to serve buyer clients while navigating these changes, keeping the consumer in mind in the process, and how things aren’t changing all that much.
