The common denominator in the complaints is the old - time, veteran salesperson who,
because subagency has gone by the wayside, has recently put on a buyer agency cap but doesn't yet understand all the duties that go along with it.
The panel's decision further advised that it was improper for REALTOR ® B to follow a procedure of inserting the amount of
subagency compensation to be paid by the listing broker on any document provided to a buyer or a seller,
because this is properly a matter to be decided by the listing and cooperating brokers at the time the offer of
subagency is offered and accepted; and that preconditioning an offer to purchase on the listing broker's acceptance of a
subagency commission greater than he had offered was a practice inconsistent with respect for the agency of the listing broker.
