Kicking off the real estate commission discussion

We are going to be taking a look at the real estate commission model all month long here at Inman News.  You’ll find columns and guest perspectives about the future of real estate commissions, and Premium Members can look forward to receiving an Inman special report, "Is 6 Percent Dead."  We will also offer for purchase a special Inman Research Report, "The Future of Real Estate Commissions" later in the month (Feb. 12th and 26th, respectively) – Inman Premium Members receive an exclusive discount off the purchase of this report.

 The commission-based compensation model that dominates the real estate industry is something that always garners plenty of debate and discussion.  We’ll be your source for much of that discussion and debate during February, but some of it has already started. . .

Real estate agent and AgentGenius contributor, Jonathan Dalton, wrote a post yesterday opening the debate on real estate commissions.  The comment discussion that followed is spirited, and well worth a read.  It is the perfect warm-up for what is to come here at Inman News.
