## Resource

Real estate brokers in the Netherlands are rallying against Funda’s controversial new pricing model, which could more than double listing fees starting in September — a move they call “disproportionate” and unjustified. Nineteen of twenty-seven NVM regional divisions are voicing outrage, arguing Funda is overstepping by shifting costs directly to consumers and undermining brokers’ core role in guiding home sales. Despite holding a majority stake, the NVM says Funda must address the backlash itself, while critics point to General Atlantic’s influence as evidence the platform’s priorities are now profit over agents. Brokers fear this shift erodes their value in the market and could reshape the entire home-selling process — and the tension is only heating up as September looms.
