The Unintended Consequences of the Sitzer-Burnett Commission Lawsuit Settlement and its Impact on Minority Homebuyers — The Sitzer-Burnett Commission lawsuit judgment will mean major shifts in how buyers and sellers pay their agents and just how much those fees cost moving forward. For minority buyers, in particular, the ruling may potentially create another barrier to entry for buyers who are already challenged by the downpayment and closing costs. This panel discussion brings together lenders and realtors for perspectives on whether these impacts can be avoided or minimized.
