The real estate industry is facing another change. This isn’t the first time, and it won’t be the last. 

In 1908, agents formed the National Association of Real Estate Exchanges, a precursor to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). They soon formalized a code of ethics and operating policies. Written agreements became commonplace. Today, these are known as an Exclusive Right To Sell or a Listing Agreement.In the 1960s, brokers created the first MLS in booklet form to create a true marketplace of the inventory that was for sale.   In 1992, the industry established buyer agency so that buyers could have exclusive representation. In 2019, NAR implemented the Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP) to address concerns around “pocket listings.”

In the face of change, the industry has always innovated on behalf of buyers and sellers. This time, it’s about updates to the Clear Cooperation Policy. 

What’s at Stake?

NAR has announced new flexibility in the CCP for NAR-affiliated MLSs that gives sellers more choice about how and when their homes are marketed. The crucial part to understand is that local MLSs have the opportunity to decide: 

The period of time a listing can remain in “delayed marketing” status before it must be publicly marketed through IDX and syndication. How days on market are calculated.How the price change history is displayed publicly.How new disclosure forms should be implemented.Any additional rules they want to implement. 

Those decisions could directly impact every buyer and seller in your area. This is where you come in.

Why You Should Care

Real Estate Professionals have one job: to serve their clients’ best interests. The CCP changes affect how both buyers and sellers are served. As we understand it today, office exclusive listings still exist where an agent may promote a listing within their brokerage, and agents still have one business day to input their listing into MLS once they begin marketing it to the public. However, NAR has further defined its position with a few CCP changes:
