Feds probe real estate agents - Apr. 22, 2005 Web CNN/Money Buying & Selling Investment Property Home Improvement Million $ Life Financing Best Places SAVE | EMAIL | PRINT | SUBSCRIBE TO MONEY | Feds probe real estate agents Money magazine investigation shows Justice Dept. looking into anticompetitive practices. April 22, 2005: 5:27 PM EDT By Jon Birger, Money Magazine NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Did you pay your real estate broker too much? The U.S. Department of Justice may be set to turn Tulsa, Okla. into a test-case for ending the stranglehold 6 percent commissions have over the real estate brokerage business. MONEY has learned that Justice's Antitrust Division is gathering information on the bully tactics that full-commission brokers in Tulsa allegedly use against their discount rivals to discourage commission-cutting. The probe follows other recent efforts to spur competition in the real estate industry. According to a copy of a Justice Department subpoena obtained by MONEY, federal investigators are seeking information on "possible anticompetitive conduct in the provision of real estate services in the Tulsa area" as well as "documents related to refusal to cooperate on real estate transactions." An Antitrust Division spokeswoman confirmed the existence of the investigation but declined to provide additional details. Al Unser, executive director of the Greater Tulsa Association of Realtors said: "We received a CID [civil investigative demand] from the Justice Dept. and we have responded." Economists who study real estate, such as the University of Cincinnati's Norm Miller, believe anti-competitive behavior is the primary explanation for the persistence of the 6 percent commission. J.D. Smith and Bob Meyer are two Tulsa discount real estate agents who say they were interviewed by federal investigators. They say the investigators wanted information on full-commission agents' alleged refusal to show home-buying clients properties listed by discount brokers -- a tactic known as boycotting. Boycotting exploits the one major weakness of the multiple listing service. The MLS's upside is that it centralizes all homes for sale in a single electronic marketplace that can be accessed by all agents -- and these days by Web-savvy consumers as well. The downside is that brokers must depend on one another to help sell their homes, and that discourages them from undercutting each other's commissions. While boycotting the listings of discounters is generally considered an antitrust violation -- if undisclosed, it's also a breach of fiduciary duty to clients -- industry insiders are well aware that boycotting goes on, even if they claim not to condone it. For Smith, the Feds' investigation comes a year or so too late. His realty business on the brink of ruin, Smith recently abandoned discount brokerage and went back to charging 6 percent. "In one week," Smith said, "I've had more showings and more offers from other realtors than I had in the previous two months." The Tulsa investigation is part of an ongoing Antitrust Division foray into the sharp-elbowed realty world. In March, the Antitrust Division sued the Kentucky Real Estate Commission over a state law that prohibits real estate brokers from offering commission rebates to consumers. More recently, Assistant Attorney General R. Hewitt Pate sent letters to lawmakers and regulators in Oklahoma and Texas, urging them to reject proposals that would effectively prohibit brokers from engaging in limited-service or fee-for-service realty -- such as listing a home for sale on the multiple listing service for a flat fee of $500. Bruce Hahn, chairman of the American Homeowners Grassroots Alliance, argues that state prohibitions on rebates and fee-for-service discourage competition and inflate commissions paid by consumers. "We've talked to Justice, and we think what they're doing is tremendous," he said. E-mail Jon Birger at jbirger@moneymail.com. The Hot List Most profitable renovations How risky is your 401(k)?

Instead of "going it alone" you can hire a "buyer representative" to help guide you through the process. A buyer representative will ad value to the transaction as a counselor, communicator, analyst and advocate, providing the knowledge and skill to interpret information and coordinate the process. A buyer representative, also known as a buyer's agent or buyer's broker can save you time and money by helping you focus on properties that fit your criteria. When the right home is found, the buyer representative will know how to package your offer so you get the house you want. In most circumstances the buyer's agent does not cost the buyer, as the seller's agent shares in their compensation. So after considering this, why not hire your own buyer's representative and have some one on YOUR side? How do I determine if my agent will make a good buyer's agent? Agency disclosure: an agent should disclose "how" they can represent you and give you a choice. A good agent should listen to your needs and respect them. A good agent will ask questions, get to know you , your lifestyle and help evaluate those needs to locate the best property for you. A good agent will familiarize you with the market, prices, locations, conditions so you will feel confident that you are doing the right thing when it comes time to purchase. Look for the designation ABR. This means the agent has taken special training, provided a list of successfully closed transactions and has kept up - to - date on changes in the business of representing the buyer to a higher level. That's a skill you need. ABR stands for Accredited Buyer Representative. What will a buyer's agent do for me? A buyer's agent can show you homes that are currently on the market, homes for sale by owner, new construction homes offered by builders and homes that may not be on the market yet. A buyer's agent will provide market data to help you establish an offering price. A buyer's agent can help you structure your offer, not by price alone, but by other factors, terms and conditions A buyer's agent will negotiate on your behalf. A buyer's representative will structure strategy to create a winning scenario. (It may not by about price, it could be getting the house when you are competing with other bidders!) Much happens between writing an offer and closing, a buyer's agent will attend to the details in a timely manner. Making sure the transaction GETS to closing.
