Final week to respond to NYSAR’s Call for Action on real estate commission legislation

Last week, NYSAR launched a Call for Action in support of S.5693-B(Zeldin)/A.7979-B(Lavine), which amends Section 442 of the Real Property Law titled "Splitting Commissions" to explicitly state that nothing shall prohibit a broker from offering any part of a fee, commission, or other compensation received by the broker to the seller, buyer, landlord or tenant as an incentive for using the services of that broker.

Your action and support are needed immediately. The bill has yet to be voted on by the Assembly or Senate, and this is the final week in the 2014 legislative session! Please click here to take action and tell your member of the Assembly and your state senator to vote "yes" on S.5693-B(Zeldin)/A.7979-B(Lavine).
