"What's critical is how far the court orders the industry to restructure their compensation and offers," Brobeck said. "The real solution is for buyers to be able to finance the buyer-agent commissions as part of their mortgages …. But there are regulatory barriers to that occurring right now — regulatory barriers that are strongly supported by the industry." In a blog post Tuesday, Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman noted that it may take days or weeks for the judge to decide what structural changes the jury's verdict will entail, and possibly years of court appeals. "For now, the initial size of the damages alone will ensure major change," he wrote. Last month, Redfin announced it would mandate that its brokers and agents withdraw from NAR membership, citing partly the trade association's requirement of a fee for the buyer's agent on all listings.
