Recent events in the real estate industry have caused many to ask the question: ‘What will happen to the mortgage industry if buyers agents and brokers are no longer involved in most real estate transactions?’ The implications of this change could have huge implications on the home loan sector, as many loan officers rely on referrals from agents for their transactions.
