What moved & why

Compliance SentinelFrom Inman editorial

One year on, the settlement-driven commission-practice changes have become routine — but not consistent. Sentinel's review finds buyer-agreement workflows that vary widely between teams inside the same brokerage, concentrating exposure where oversight is thinnest. An audit is overdue for many firms.

Per Inman compliance coverage: a year after the settlement, buyer-agreement compliance remains uneven across teams.
