Redfin is now publishing real estate agent commissions on listings

A new study from Redfin showed that more than half of recent homebuyers don’t totally understand how their real estate agent gets paid, so the online brokerage is setting out to do something about that. Redfin announced Thursday that the commissions of buyer’s agents will now be published on some of the company’s real estate listings, because the company believes that being transparent with commission will help the customer better understand the transaction.
