Realtors must pay home sellers $1.8 billion for inflating commissions, jury finds

The National Association of Realtors and other industry players conspired to boost the commissions paid to real estate agents, jury rules.

Maybe high realtor commissions will come down now. Would you really care if your U.S. realtor shows up in a Civic instead of a Cadillac?

      Yeah, or a scale based on actual effort, not purely his much a home is worth.

      A system which aligns incentives would be one where the commission is based on a percentage of anything above a certain sale price. This way, the realtor is incentivized to find a buyer at the very least at that price, and to find the highest possible price to get as much commission as possible.
