Maybe it's not well talked about enough, but I'm indirectly referring to https://www.realestatenews.com/2023/03/29/commissions-lawsuit-now-a-class-action-greatly-increasing-its-scope https://www.realestatenews.com/2023/03/29/commissions-lawsui... When you sell a home and you hire a realtor (sellers agent), the buyer will also likely have a realtor (buyers agent). When the house is sold, it is "traditional" for 2.5% of the cost of the house to go to the seller's agent.... BUT ALSO 2.5% goes to the buyer's agent, from the seller's sale. If the buyer doesn't have an agent, the seller's agent get 5%. The $14 billion lawsuit is all about "why does the seller have to pay for the buyer's agent when they dont represent me?". And looking at that whole pile-o-shit even from a 10000 foot view shows really broken and terrible things.
