I didn’t say it was standard. I do say that the practice has met institutionalized de facto approval as a means of selling some houses. Besides that, maybe it’s just getting warmed up. It took a while for liar loans and subsequent massive inflation of home prices to get going. Guess it’s time to get a Realtor and start fishing for short sellers. Maybe Ocrenter will make a blog about it?
Double sided commissions don’t even have to be evident as proof of deal steering either. Two realtors can participate easily.
