## Resource

Real estate commissions haven’t changed as much as expected after the big settlement, but new scrutiny is revealing hidden costs in referral fee models and how big brokerages are dominating private listings—often representing both buyer and seller. Consumer advocates and industry leaders are debating transparency, potential conflicts of interest, and whether these trends are reshaping the market unfairly. With states considering new laws, the conversation centers on protecting buyers and sellers in an increasingly concentrated housing landscape.
