But what about our Sellers who have to pay the Buyer’s Agent’s Commissions? How is that ethical and moral to force them to pay the Buyer’s Agent’s Commission? Our Sellers are already often expected to give help here and there with various things (closing costs, repairs, etc.). And as far as low income families needing relief and help in achieving “The American Dream”, why aren’t the Real Estate Agents and Mortgage Agents referring them to the USDA Direct Program where they will only ever have to pay the Property Taxes (which can never increase) and never have to pay a mortgage payment? Why? Because the Real Estate and Mortgage Companies make more money off selling the bundled mortgages than they do off of the sale of the homes. How is not referring Low Income Buyers to this program an ethical and moral act? The Real Estate industry et. al. shoves Ethics down our throats and makes it mandatory to take classes and pay E&O insurance (that is extremely rare to have a claim against), but they take advantage of Low Income families by not making it known that the program is available and could literally save them 100’s of Thousands of Dollars.

The current interest rates are preventing potential sellers from listing their properties, artificially creating an inventory shortage. This is creating unnecessary “bidding wars” on the existing properties. This is causing the unnecessary wavier of the usual contingencies such as , the HOME INSPECTION, which is crucial to the real estate transaction. The buyers should be able to determine the condition of the property they are “bidding” on. What measures are being considered to even the playing field?
