Co-broke Commission Transparency: How Cobrokenow.com is Changing Real Estate After NAR Rule Changes

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently implemented rule changes that prohibit the disclosure of co-brokerage commissions on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®). In response, Cobrokenow.com has emerged. Our platform offers real estate agents a compliant way to share and discover commission details—promoting transparency, efficiency, and trust in transactions.

What is Cobrokenow.com?

Cobrokenow is an online platform designed exclusively for real estate professionals to list and search for co-broke commissions—the compensation offered to buyer’s agents when a property sells. The website positions itself as a solution to the NAR’s restrictions—a platform for real estate agents to disclose their commision information after the NAR banned the disclosure of commisions on the MLS®.

Key Features & Benefits

1. Compliance with NAR Rules

Cobrokenow operates entirely within NAR guidelines, which allows agents to share commission details without violating MLS policies.

2. Instant Access to Commission Data

Agents can quickly search listings to see what compensation is being offered, saving time and reducing back-and-forth negotiations. According to the platform:

"Adding and searching listings on Cobrokenow.com is quick and easy. You're done in seconds, allowing you to focus more on productivity and profitability."

3. Binding & Transparent Offers

Unlike informal agreements, Cobrokenow ensures that posted commissions are binding:

"A commission being offered is a binding agreement for compensation, ensuring a smooth process with no issues at the closing table."

This transparency helps build trust between agents and minimizes disputes.

4. Realtor Networking & Efficiency

The platform markets itself as a "powerful realtor-to-realtor networking tool" that helps agents close more deals by streamlining cooperation.

How It Works

• Agents & brokers can list properties with their co-broke commission offers.

• Buyer’s agents can search for listings and instantly see compensation details.

• Subscription-based access with unlimited listings and searches for a flat annual fee.

  
  

Limitations & Disclaimers

While Cobrokenow.com promotes transparency, it is not the MLS®. The information provided by agents on our site is for information purposes only. Agents are still advised to consult their brokers for legal and contractual guidance.
