Episode Details

A new report exposes how “junk fees” in real estate—ranging from $400 to $600 and sometimes topping $1,000—could cost buyers and sellers nearly $2 billion a year. These hidden charges, disguised as processing or tech fees, are widespread, often passed down from brokerages to agents, and sometimes even undisclosed, potentially violating the law. While some industry coaches push these fees as a new revenue stream, many agents call them “robbery,” choosing to pay them personally rather than pass them on. Legal action, including a class-action suit, may be the only way to stop this trend—so scrutinize every fee, negotiate, and never assume it’s part of your commission.
