What is NAR'S Clear Cooperation Policy? Please click the link below, Robert Reffkin explains why this is NOT in the Seller and Buyers best interest. Robert is a huge advocate for all of us, including YOU! https://lnkd.in/gE46DV7B This sums it up, take a listen. Conflict "The Clear Cooperation Policy forces Realtors to comply with MLS-mandated rules even when they conflict with the first sentence of the first article in the Code of Ethics. Clear Cooperation can require Realtors to act against their clients’ best interests when clients want to market their homes publicly for more than one day without placing them on the MLS. The assumption that every client desires maximum exposure for their listing is mistaken: Many clients don’t believe that more exposure equals a higher price. If more exposure equals a higher price, why do home builders sell hundreds of thousands of homes off-MLS each year? If more exposure equals a higher price, why do hundreds of thousands of companies not sell their products on Amazon, where there is the most exposure? Some clients care more about privacy than price. They shouldn’t be forced to surrender their privacy to sell their home. Examples where the client may not want to market on the MLS A family member is seriously ill, and the family wishes to maintain privacy to avoid additional stress. A couple going through a divorce prefers to avoid public attention until their affairs are settled. An individual is moving for a confidential job opportunity. The property is undergoing recommended improvements; the owner wants feedback on how the improvements may impact sales price before showcasing it to potential buyers. Sellers want to test the asking price privately without accumulating unnecessary “days on market.” In these instances, Realtors must question whether complying with the Clear Cooperation Policy is truly in line with their ethical responsibilities. Realtors must balance marketing and cooperation on the MLS with the duty to prioritize their clients’ best interests. When these two priorities conflict, client interests must precede MLS policy. Moreover, state law says, “A seller’s agent has, without limitation, the following fiduciary duties to the seller: reasonable care, undivided loyalty, confidentiality, full disclosure, obedience and duty to account.” Clear Cooperation is forcing agents to break the law (fiduciary duty) by forcing them to push their clients to list in the MLS, even if their clients believe that marketing outside the MLS will result in a higher price or desired privacy. Furthermore, it damages the relationship between agents and MLSs, fining them up to $5,000 for doing what their clients asked. The Clear Cooperation Policy should be removed so that NAR ethical rules can provide more flexibility to account for a wide variety of clients’ interests when marketing their homes."
