Dear Realtors and Partners,

We know the changes to realtor commission practices have introduced challenges, and understandably, there’s some uncertainty about navigating this new landscape. At Diamond Residential Mortgage Corporation (DRMC), we understand how these shifts can impact your business. We’ve experienced similar transitions ourselves, particularly with the changes in compensation rules for lenders about a decade ago. We know firsthand that with careful attention to detail, clear communication with clients, and a commitment to excellent service, these challenges can be managed effectively.

While some aspects of these changes, such as commission disclosures, may be outside our direct influence, there are critical areas where DRMC can offer substantial support. We are experts in understanding mortgage guidelines, and we can guide you in structuring negotiations so that buyer agent commissions can still be covered—whether through seller concessions, credits, or other creative solutions—as long as they fit within the allowable guidelines.

Discussing compensation with clients is a sensitive task, and that’s where DRMC comes in. We’re here to help navigate these conversations so your clients can move forward confidently, knowing they have a dedicated team working in their best interest. By bringing us into the conversation early, we can work together to ensure that every aspect of the financial side is handled with care and expertise.

The road ahead may seem daunting, but it’s a storm that can be weathered. By working together and focusing on the details that matter, we can ensure that these changes not only strengthen your business but also enhance the service we provide to our clients.

As always, if you have any questions or need further clarification, don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can continue delivering the exceptional service your clients expect, even in the face of change.

Thank you for your continued trust in DRMC.

Best Regards, Paul Diamond CEO Diamond Residential Mortgage Corporation
