MLS Rules Changes

In order to clarify proper listing compensation procedures in light of short sale negotiator fees, the California Association of Realtors (CAR) modified Rule 7.15.2. The CAR rules were changed in December 2010 and the Sandicor Board of Directors adopted the Model Rule in January 2011. The changes have been highlighted for your review.

7.15.2 Lender Approval Listings. Compensation offered through the MLS to cooperating brokers on listings which require lender approval (commonly referred to as “short sale” listings) is for the amount published therein unless the listing broker indicates on the MLS the following: (a) the fact that the sale and gross commission are subject to lender approval; and (b) the amount or method by which the compensation offered through the MLS will be reduced if the lender reduces the gross commission. This section does not allow an additional reduction from the commission offered for items such as a short sale negotiator fee or other administrative costs of the transaction. Any reductions from the commission offered for such items should be factored in as a reduced amount the listing broker initially offers to a cooperating broker and may not be made a condition of the offer.

The Compensation to Buyer’s Broker field (CBB) is an unconditional offer of compensation from the listing broker to the cooperating broker. The confidential remarks are not to be used to reduce the cooperating broker’s compensation for the use of a short sale negotiator or any other third party fee.
