Image
  If you’ve seen the headlines this year, you might think homeowners have stopped trusting real estate agents altogether. With the National Association of Realtors (NAR) lawsuit, conversations about commission changes, and endless online opinions, it’s easy to assume the traditional real estate model is crumbling. But the data tells a very different story. According to the NAR 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers , a record 91% of home sellers worked with a real estate agent- the highest percentage ever recorded.
