<h1>Brokers urge stronger contracts, electronic attribution and dispute remedies to prevent commission bypass and payment delays</h1> A real estate developer hosted an industry event focused on brokers, highlighting collaborative practices and identifying legal and regulatory tensions affecting brokerage relationships. Panelists discussed city-specific market dynamics, technology-driven transaction processes, and long-term industry trends, while brokers raised legal concerns including clients bypassing intermediaries, commission denials or delays, and absence of centralized regulation or reliable attribution mechanisms. The discussions underscored potential legal reforms and contractual safeguards-such as clearer brokerage agreements, electronic attribution and documentation, and dispute-resolution mechanisms-to protect broker remuneration and promote transparency between developers, brokers and buyers.
